daft question...

I dont know how Micro$oft feels about rival shells running on top of windows instead of explorer, but why dont MS have a range of shells, so the user can choose how they want windows to look, instead of being stuck with that damn startbar? if anything it might just make windows users a little happier.

What's it with people who like spelling microsoft with a dollar sign? It's starting to bug me a little bit.

Probably Microlimp doesn't realize there could be an alternative to explorer. If someone would make an alternate shell that cost a lot of money and became popular, then you could bet the next version of Windows would have it built in.
