Next Microsoft? Rick Sherlund (Goldman Sachs) fortune.com Nothing wrong with MSFT. Just don't understand why anyone would pay so much for 16% growth. They'll reach into the cookie jar and make whatever earnings number they want. But you can't fudge revenues. That's what everyone is looking for. Sub $6B and look out below ... We're running NT at work. It's pathetic for engineering applications like PATRAN. I think we'll convince management to run Linux on a couple of boxes. (Please let us use the vi editor and "grep" commands.) The company has SUNW boxes running Solaris and an SGI box running applications like Alias. I believe the aero group is getting a powerful Linux box for computational fluid dynamics. If people want Windows to play games at home ... that's great. But the rest of us have real work to do. I see a bright future for Solaris, Linux and Mac OS X. It appears that companies are beginning to realize that they can live without Windows. Maybe someday the Windows OS will just be a bad memory. Best of luck.
