Oh boy another MSFT announcement! <Microsoft says it will make a "major e-commerce announcement" on Thursday at 5:30 p.m. EDT.> Why do I think this will be yet another announcement that MSFT has made a strategic investment in some eCommerce company, which in turn has promised to use Win2K servers for its web site? Remember the press release that Aetna was going to use Win2K for its Internet presence? Did you notice that the announcement failed to mention that MSFT uses Aetna for its employee medical insurance, and overpays for the most expensive Aetna PPO options, which has the side benefit of making COBRA benefits prohibitively expensive to ex-Softies? Whatever this big e-Commerce announcement is, follow the money, and you will see MSFT paying through its teeth for it. <Time to kick> I'd be glad to, but don't you think we've kicked MSFT enough? :-)
