     They wouldn't have to spend anything near $2 billion to get these 
centers going if they used Linux instead of Windows - and the service 
would be a lot better. Maybe they'll Hotmail the thing and have Unix 
servers that identify themselves as being Win2K. If any of you have a 
contact at Sun or IBM, ask them if Microsoft has placed any 10-figure 
orders recently.
