Gewg, after reading your post in this thread and the next one I got to tell you that 
you are wasting your time at this forum. With your talent for words you could have 
made a lot of money on Madison Avenue in advertising or as a lobbyist in Washington. 
Instead you invest your time lobbying for linux for little reward except perhaps 
letting off steam over an issue that really isn't all that important, the computer 
operating system someone chooses to use. Most people are more worried about whether 
they have a date for saturday night than what OS they have installed.

The decrease in the cost of a new computer over the last 15 years makes the built-in 
cost of an OEM Windows license seem like chump change to most consumers. In one article 
I read last year it was reported Microsoft was getting as little as $10 per copy 
for XP preinstalled in netbooks. Little wonder free-of-charge linux isn't attracting 
more takers.

So, does anyone know of any hacks to get IE7 or 8 running in 98SE? :-)
