Easy does it JQ.....

I think it will get worse before it gets better w/MSFT. The election will take some of the heat off of the antitrust, but you are still looking at a market that is getting saturated in the states. The world markets are still out there, but piracy is an issue. Convergence is occurring on the "anti-PC" movement with all of the software moving to an internet based server and cheaper simpler workstation "dumb terminals".

Microsoft will continue to do ok, but there time of spectacular growth has peaked IMHO.

Having said this, my little nest-egg got its start from a 600% return on microsoft stock. I sold two years ago and put the proceeds into Oil stocks!!!!! It is now priced below what I sold it for two years ago.

I thought it was overpriced then.

Microsoft WILL be around, just as IBM is still around, but the future still has some twists, I'm afraid.

BTW, I am a database developer when I'm not trying to scalp stocks.....

FWIW
