"When Clinton went after Microsoft in a big way." A stupid statement in my opinion. This statement to me is the typical style used by all the smear mongers here to attack PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH. "The timing of the attack was ill advised. It did effect the technology sector. To me another stupid observation." I would love someone to explain how there is some connection in time to msft and the economy going south because of the y2k fraud purchase bubble. By the way how many hundreds of millions of shares has the msft float increased as billy gates, paul allen and others have and continue to sell millions of shares a month after month. Does a half a billion share increase in the float decrease the price of the stock????? No it's the justice department. Does having no products that really give enhanced features thus slowing sales decrease the share price? No it's the justice department. And far superior linux as a server operating system had little to due with killing msft fud method of sales. Also linux trained administrators by the hundreds of thousands who also by the way are unix trained did not also reduce the cost of ownership of all other unix based systems in the server market place. msft server products seemed to have features the would increase productivity, but the crash prone and infection prone weaknesses of the products blunted the positives with a real net negative. The ability of msft software to competitively lead in productivity increasing systems software started to wane after windows 3.1 On inertia and anti competitive methods is still grew. Now it's a company with billions of shares and no product to sustain revenue growth. If msft had been left unchecked it would have engaged in more anticompetitive actions to lock out advancing technology and competitors. How ever normal market forces, linux unix and the unsuitability and limitations of msft products to advance productivity would still take the toll. And a half a billion or is it a billion more shares in the float would depress the price. Mike, on so many issues you see so clearly. I wonder if your substantial ignorance of linux and unix and it's stability and security cause such a screwed up analysis. I've used nt 4 service pak5 and nt 2000 service pak 3 as OK workstations. I judge both to be about as stable as 1993 linux. They still have 1/2 to 1/4 the performance at multi tasking with many small tasks. Linux multitasking performance has not dramatically improved over time. It went from great to greater. Msft performance has decreased, somewhat, increased and remained stagnant over time. Evaluation depends on the metric. But the stunning improvements in X86 PC's over time blurs observations of the progress of computer systems.
