Well, I hate to burst anybody's bubble, but let's not count out Microsoft.

As a long time investor with a good memory, I'd like to remind everybody of a company called Borland and a product called Quattro Pro. Sooner than I thought, a company with a product called Excel came along and was offered to the public at a third of the cost. So much for the stock value of Borland. Interesting to look at the chart of Borland and the chart of AOL before the blow from Microsoft.

I read this thread tonight from AOL but got tired of the inefficient use of the internet and the slow connects. I then switched to MSN and must say there is a difference. Sooner or later the market will realize the threat from Microsoft as well.
