Call me a cynical old bastard (which I am), but I can't see M$ raising a flag for Unix... Wasn't it Billy Gates who reportedly said that any PC running Linux is one not running Windoze, and did his best to discredit it? I still have horrible memories of porting Unify (an early RDBMS) to Xenix, and getting tangled up in the poxy small/large memory models on the equally-poxy 286 (no, not the 386). -- Dave Horsfall DTM (VK2KFU) "Those who don't understand security will suffer."
