I kinda like the idea of android on the phone, windows on the tablet/laptop/desktop. And the idea of seeing apple bite the dust. Well, in the long run, I'll miss apple though... Just like i miss commodore... (But I don't miss the Tandys X| )

Yes, Mike, but in what calendrical system: Mayan ? Given the "not invented here" syndrome at play in the fields of Sauron of Redmond, perhaps today is: zero-day + x of IE release x.xx in the fifth hamadryad of the second parsec of Ballmer, in the waning gibbous moon of SilverLight ? Where "x" is an integer, but the algorithm that produces said integer cannot be discussed because of NDA agreements ? best, Bill
