VE shipped slightly after Google Earth, but do people really think MSFT saw Google Earth and then "real quick like" copied the whole thing in a month or two? The company must really be invincible. Or take Messenger, which has been shipping new releases three times a year. Google just shipped their first version. Please don't say we pre-emptively copied Google." This may be as off-topic as off-topic can be, but I thought Joshua's post brings up some very good points and besides, it's Friday. In all seriousness, I think Joshua's post on his blog, Better Living Through Software, is bang on the money - Microsoft needs Google just as it needs Symbian. Give the article a read, and let me know what you think. __________________ "I have no special talents, I am only passionately curious" - Albert Einstein Mike.Temporale.com www.MobileJaw.com
