Hi Don [re: MSFT] - sure, granted that these are subjective

1. productwise. failures to plug security holes [outlook, ie5 etc] Bad publicity. Sure, other platforms like UNIX and sendmail have holes too, so it is unfair to MSFT. But people plug them as they go along.

2. legally, it commited 2 fatal errors. To get off the wrong foot, if memory serves, by trying to get Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson disqualified. IMHO, to have a unsympathetic judge doomed the whole preceeding at the onset. Two, poor preparation.

3. continue the old MSFT way by playing hardball [to put it mildly] with competitors. The idea of lying low cannot be a localized phenomenon, y'know.

4. meeting the Q with the sale of securities.

Just off the top of my head

best, Bosco
