CNBC should be forced to disclose to viewers on a regular basis that MSFT has a significant financial stake in CNBC. I believe Dennis said that CNBC did admit that MSFT had a financial stake. How often do they tell their viewers?

From the posts here, I get the feeling that CNBC does not report news about SUNW. Do you think this is true?

Sonki, it is important that we do NOT underestimate MSFT's power. The company has mucho money because it controls the dominant position on the desktop.

I watch TV rarely. But when I was away, recently, I turned the TV on in my hotel room to watch the financial news on CNN. It seemed that every other commercial was bought by MSFT. Over and over again, MSFT repeated their commercials about NT. If you did not know any better, you might think MSFT had the only OS system on the market.

The MSFT commercials alarmed me because I watched them from another country, a country that will look to improve its infrastructure with new technology.

We should never underestimate the power of the press.
