[Am-info] MS will buy Connectix

[Sujal Shah]

I honestly don't buy that, yet.  While I can believe that Microsoft  
would buy Connectix, I don't see the death of VPC.  I don't know why  
microsoft would do that... VPC just increases the market for Windows  
licenses to hardware that normally would lock them out.
