Teflon: "Microsoftbank" - an addendum on Softbank as the new (or Japanese) Microsoft - in this case, Softbank bought by Microsoft:

We seem to have the most civilized, informative comments on this Softbank Board and contributions from You and Jay and several others have been responsible for that. I've been seeing many comparisons to Microsoft and it seems like Softbank ought to already be bigger than Microsoft. Of course, Microsoft is still capitalized at well over ten times Softbank's total (Perhaps twenty times?). I was only partly kidding when I suggested that Gates might even attempt to buy Softbank and then issue an Internet tracking stock called Microsoftbank <G>. I am not advocating or hoping for that, but it wouldn't surprise me. I actually prefer that Softbank just keep going it's own way.
