Harry, I think people are getting worried for no reason. All of this Microsoft-Apple hype is really absurd. Nothing fundamentally about Apple has changed in the last day. It's still a company with serious problems including the lack of a corporate vision, that won't be profitable for quite a while. As for Microsoft's stake in Apple, it represents less than 2% of Microsoft's $9 billion in cash. It was a token investment to have the IE browser implanted into the MacOS. As far as them supporting office applications, Microsoft had no plans to stop supporting Macs, not with the large client base it provides. Sun is not missing the ball here. The day Sun aligned with Apple would be the day I sold my position. People need to understand there is room in this world for both WinTel and Sun, and Sun can do it without the help of IBM, Apple, Netscape, et al. Bob The Deep Sea Forecast netcom.com
