Microsoft does deserve credit for helping to bring about the internet age. As does Gore as a politician who helped enable it from Washington. You certainly never heard Dan Quayle touting the internet being in every school in America. His focus was NASA not the internet and the environment like Gore. So all I'm saying is give credit where credit's due. And don't count him out yet on the election. Incumbant VEEPS are always beind at first. He might lose in the end but he's certainly only begun to flex his campaigning powers. He is a powerful speaker if you've ever heard him in person, and very knowledgeable and appealing. He also has a beautiful family. Vietnam War record (unlike Bush) and no skeletons in his closet.

Microsoft is a great company. It just got too dominant. I remember trying to buy a PC three years ago and being startled to find that Windows though maybe the best software was mandatory. Not one choice. That is a monopoly. And when they forced their browser into the mandatory side fo things they brought on this anti-trust action. Nevertheless, MSFT will surive and prosper. I am seriously looking at buying MSFT stock if it falls. And if it falls it will come back. But very short-term a lot of people will be dumping on fear. Sorry if you're a short-term holder but whatever sells will be bought back. Longer term you'll be fine.
