Tennis Anyone?
They say you learn a valuable lesson when you dodge a bullet and it appears Bill Gates is no exception. Microsoft announced this week they will permit PC makers to remove
Explorer Shortcut from it’s Windows XP operating system, in the wake of the US Court of Appeals overturning the lower court’s decision to break the giant company up.
Frankly, I have never seen what the fuss is all about...but then again, I am an Apple MacIntosh user who also prefers Netscape’s browser!
For those of you who thought Wimbledon was over, there has been a great tennis match going on for control of AT&T Broadband Cable as Comcast Cable served up a $44.5 billion
hostile takeover bid, only to have AT&T throw a backhand volley right back at $56 billion. Comcast returned with a cross court shot that was similiar to AT&T’s but would include the
assumption of $13.5 billion in debt.
Industry analysts are watching this back and forth battle very closely, but few believe that the father and son team who run Philadelphia-based Comcast will make an unforced error by
paying too much, even if the prize is the #1 seed in the cable industry.
