Investment Choices
1. My point was that MS has NO importand technology of its own to license to other people. Especially the FAT FS which is technlogically a mediocrity and out-dated. The clear type font system is the other example mentioned which maybe (marginally) called 'technology' but there are already many other non-bit mapped font technologies out there, some of them in the public domain. You didn't mention anything for this part 1.

2. I said that it will be embarassing if too few show up to license MS techn.

Your answer was "someone licensed MS techn. so you are wrong". First: this has nothing to do with 1, that is you didn't refute my statement that MS has no importand technology. Second, the fact that several (too many) people are "investing" -- and losing -- money at casinoes every day, does not make them financially better, inspite of the popularity of their "approach."

You just read a couple of words in some reply and if it is not pro-MS, you throw out your standard 'evrything MS is good' answer.

Had you offered any technically sound argument we could have debated it on a logical basis.

I have always been urging you to exercise your thought process so that you can improve it. It'll wb good for you wink
