| Even more ironic is that PI's programs originally were going to run on
| Linux and not on Windows, according to a set of frequently asked questions
| on PI's Web site. Maritz says that the company has changed direction

| "The battle is shifting beyond Windows and Linux," he says. "Google
| isn't concerned about what executes down on the client machine, whether
| it's Windows or Linux. The action has moved up a level. The real
| innovation in software is not occurring in the context of the 1980s
| and 1990s PC. It's occurring in applications that reside in the broader
| Web. The interesting innovations are going to occur around different
| ways to organize and share and access information."
