no, it does not make me wonder...it is *not* the first time this has
come up(a microsoft product pump out bit quickly to MS machines and
V_E_R_Y__S_L_O_W_L_Y to those running other software..

reread my posting in this thread from June 11, and that of "AB" on the
12th..

this is not rocket science: the server can see when you are on MS and
when you are not, and it can decide how fast you get your bits.

the folks in Redmond will get a big smile if you abandon open source
