I did read the report, and IIRC they do give inferno its due. These are not dumb guys, I think Jim Laros at least deserves a little respect. Sure, it's M$, but at least it's not another bolt-on to the linux kernel, right? There are no real new ideas in CS popping around at this point, so we are reduced to recycling each other's socks. So it goes. We're in an evolutionary, not a revoluationary, business. This may be permanent, it is hard to tell. ron
