Just like the Chinese economy is the fastest-growing economy in the world.
Easy to look good on a percentage-wise basis when you start from zero.

Palm and her partners have the plurality of the market.

Oh, it's dead everywher. Micro$oft just doesn't know it yet. One of those
ego things. Remember when Win NT was going to run on everything, from your
toaster to supercomputers? [MDC summer 1992] And how Windows 3.1 was going to
be the last 16-bit version before everyone converted to NT?

You can get Linux for your iPaq ... straight from DEC^H^H^HCompaq.
