Citizen Gates RE: "...the stock will keep pushing up till summer; Trust Bill Gates and Balmer and rest of MSFT management. JohnD Actually, trust is now a problem. Hal PS: It's now a case of the Kings Clothes. Right or wrong, here is what some non-shareholders believe: "Microsoft cut them (Netscape)off at the knees. Microsoft did not just release their own browser for free. They made it impossible to install Windows without it, and almost impossible to uninstall. To add icing to their cake, most versions of IE just flatly refused to even download most versions of Communicator." (from Microsoft Against the World). In fact, trusting Gate's cleverly worded negotiation proposals meant trusting Microsoft not to jump through some glaring Loopholes in the plans. He was trusted by regulators in 1996-97 on similar type proposals. Once burned, twice shy. The problem now is that Gates has lost the good will and heroic status he had 2 years ago, but does not realise this fact. People are starting to laugh. This is not good for business.
