Maybe you should have asked if they will be supporting future customers who
will
by then be accessing the site from 'phones, STBs, Internet TVs, various
palmtops,
wrist devices <etc.>. I doubt all those millions of customers will be using
Windows?
You could have impressed that forward-thinking companies would have
considered such things 8-)
I am pretty sure that the spread of pervasive technologies will be so
thorough that service providers will have to un-Microsoft their access
whether they like it or not or lose out. This is not just an Amiga thing
either, consider the Be Inc deal for example.
