If you haven't heard  about  the  Caldera lawsuit against Microsoft,
and you'd like to know  if/how  that  suit  might  affect  your  own
software choices, then check out our new 24x7 Report at our website!
The  article  has  the  metaphor-rich  title of "Fatted Calf, Golden
Calf:  The  Selling  of   Windows"   and   may  give  you  a  richer
understanding of major blunders committed over and by Microsoft,  as
well as reason to expect a better future, when you may enjoy greater
cross-compatibility   and   wider   choices  in  technology.  As  an
individual programmer, business-owner and/or consumer who uses OS/2,
Linux, Unix, DOS, Mac and other  major platforms, you may enjoy this
report's deeper focus on the technical and psychological aspects  of
software  marketing, with needed comparisons to Caldera's DR-OpenDOS
and IBM's OS/2.


You  may  recall that my previous announcement mentioned IACT's 24x7
Reports, contributed by IACT  members  who  rely on their first-hand
experiences  with  the  major  desktop  and/or  network  platforms--
including the operating systems that  you  yourself  use.  Your  own
experiences  really should be included in these 24x7 Reports as well
as in other IACT projects, so  that  all of us together can actively
support open standards, user choice and cross-compatibility.


If  you're  interested in sharing your computer experiences, you may
wish to read/review  the  current  24x7  Reports  (along with the IQ
Newsletter articles) to get ideas about specific topics,  and  write
back to me if you have questions or ideas in mind.


I  especially  would  like  to  see  more  articles  contributed  by
multi-platform users, who use any combination of Linux, Unix,  OS/2,
DOS, MacOS, Rhapsody etc..
