Eric,

I don't have a bias against MSFT. I own 800 shares of MSFT and gifted 5 shares (!) to my nephew on his first birthday 2 days ago. Thats after gifting him 10 at his birth. I hope they can pay for his college !!!! So I do hope all goes well with MSFT..

We must read different magazines. I just finished reading Network World which talks about Home Depot and Amway installed massive networks. Whereas Amway wanted modular growth due to their incremental business growth model, Home Depot gave their reasons for rejecting NT. What I meant was that 3 years ago, noone got away with rejecting NT, it was the in thing. Lot of companies these days go for Sun (Unix) workstations and swear by them....

Of course a MSFT VP of sales and marketing would tout the company just as RHAT CEO would tout Linux. I would tend to discount these speeches. And as to Netware, I don't even think it is alive except as a legacy system, so comparing with Netware may not be a good example IMO.

Battle ? Yes, I think there will be a battle. But how far do you think the business communities will support a MS monopoly ???? Remember Sun and Java ? I think MSFT has a battle ahead too. But that does not mean the company will not do well. There is room for both in this space - I think.

Meanwhile, lets enjoy the price increase in RedHat stock .... :-)
