MSFT is in for the surprise of its' life and Gary is going to witness all of this, just remember Gary that there was a chap called MA who told you so.
Palm will continue to reign, only because IBM, SUNW, ORCL, AOL, NOK, MOT, SONY and a slew of other companies don't want MSFT to dominate the NET. The playing field is very different, we now have the DOJ and 17 European commission representatives all watching MSFT and its dirty tactics. Its' legerdemain business tactics are going to be checked until it realizes its' free reign is over. As I have said, MSFT is a company that has had its day and as Nat and Geekland have pointed out they will not go down in history as a company that innovates but rather one that has used its affluence like a predator that thrives on destroying and ruling. Now we have the Animal Kingdom watching the wounded Tiger struggle through the jungle. A Tiger is no longer the king of the jungle when it is wounded and you can rest assured that Sir William is wounded big time. I would even surmise that MSFT might even be relegated to a much lower tier as the world transforms more and more into a Net-Centric sphere.
For the last two years MSFT's F.U.D. has only produced VAPOURWARE and they keep on groping hoping their hyperbole and spin via Barrons, MSNBC and CNBC and their affiliations with the media might give them a reprieve to finally use their wherewithal correctly. In the meantime, according to IDC, Palm has taken market share away from Windows CE devices and Palm continues to reign. |
