Well, yeah, if you count the management as "brainpower". ;) Seriously, I think MSFT still has plenty of smart men and women on the engineering side where it counts, and there's no shortage of competent managers to fill top-level spots. The only top-level spot I watch is CEO. I share your concern about MSFT's apparent lack of understanding about the opportunities in the internet; they've repeatedly shown that "they just don't get it." Perhaps we shouldn't shed quite so many tears over the departing execs after all, eh? I'm still optimistic that the new team will eventually find some avenue for growth in the internet, but I'm not counting on seeing it reflected in the stock price any time soon. Meanwhile I'm still hunting for investment alternatives to broaden my base beyond MSFT (and ORCL). At present I'm holding $350K cash. The rising interest rates and oil prices don't bode well for the market as a whole. If there's a massive sell-off then I'll be snapping up my favourites on discount. Otherwise I'll just keep fishing them for reasonable entries. How about you? Your notes didn't tell me your situation or strategy. I'm guessing from the tone that, like me, you've got a truckload or more of Softee. Anyway you have my best wishes for prosperity whatever you do. VG
