Laura DiDio has no clue that there is a viable world beyond M$.  She has yet 
to do a favorable study towards linux (she goes out of her way to show Windoze 
is better with some truly dazzling logic.) and she still thinks SCO will win 
against IBM, Red Hat, Novell and the rest.  Her business card may say Yankee 
Group but her paychecks say Micro$oft.
