Sorry, we don't have pink. Would you like red? Gray? Magenta? Or any of a dozen other colors? Vikram.

Now i've definately done my fair share, but why does everyone always insult bill gates for writing an imperfect operating system. If you think you could do better, why do you have your salary, and not his? *.* cin >> knowledge;

If you think that is true, go and use WordPerfect or Lotus 123 for awhile. Oh, and use Paradox for your database. Delphi is a good product, you can write code in that. Oh, and in case you are thinking that MS rolled over OS/2 with marketing hype, then think about this... OS/2 had a bug that made it crash requiring a hard disk formatting and reinstallation (according to John Dvorak). How's that for a bug? You can do everything a normal computer user does without using any MS products (word processing, spreadsheet, email, contact management, database). Have fun!

That is just a myth. If you look at the time when IE, Excel and Word took over, they where all getting better reviews than the other packages. Tim Smith I'm going to patent thought. I have yet to see any prior art.
CP is is Up I can reply now! It's called marketing when you say to a magazine, "we want to advertise our new product in your magazine, our budget is 1,000,000 USD for the 1st month, and 500,000 for the next 11 months. Oh by the way would you mind reviewing it as well?" I used to work in the newspaper industry, a very good, obvious, example of this is in your free newspapers have a look at the articles and check if the compnay mentioned in the article has any adverts in the paper and how big are they wrt to the article? I don't want to criticise Excel, etc. just pointing out marketing strategies. :suss:
