By the way, to the list: Do you trust Ballmer, or don't you? I remember both "Microsoft will not be broken up", "PE should be 25". A clarification. No matter how it was spun, Ballmer did not say that Microsoft's or any company's PE should actually be 25. What he said was that companies that make money will have a good stock price and companies that don't won't. He also said that a company should eventually trade at 25 times earnings and that investors should look at earnings growth to determine if many of the hot companies of today will ever get to that level of profitability. As far as your other question, I trust Ballmer a lot more than many other executives or politicians. I have been lied to directly by Sun executives and had my questions evaded by politicians. I have never had either experience with Steve, and I have confronted him with some very difficult questions at times. In my experience he is honest, considerate, and straightforward, sometimes to a fault. Mike
