   You have to take scale into account here. Assuming a conservative estimate of 500,000,000 Internet users, 8% is 40,000,000 people. Hardly insignificant.

4. Comment - Longhorn Pushed to 2004, .NET Server to Debut 2003

   I've tried, and like, the speech recognition capabilities of Windows and Office XP. While I don't think they are ready for dictation, they recognize and execute commands fairly well. My only gripe is that Internet Explorer does not respond to WinXP speech recognition, at least, not since I last played with it. Does anyone know if there is a way to use WinXP SR with IE? Thanks.

5. Comment - AOL Looking to Acquire Red Hat

   Ahh, that is what I wanted to know. I'd agree that Linux has all the tools to be useful to most people. The feel of Linux is a bit of a change from Windows, but the learning curve isn't that steep.
   
   Although I'd never use AOL, I think they could do a lot to standardize and commercialize (ie "dumb-down") the interface. The Linux newbie, in my opinion, wouldn't be so intimidated if it were more candy coated (like XP).
   
   My point is that it AOL could make a viable to alternative to Microsoft. For beginners. The more powerful flavors of Linux will still exist for more advanced users.
