How can you seriously compare this company to Wal-Mart, Home Depot, and Microsoft? Wow! How can you seriously compare this company to Wal-Mart, Home Depot, Microsoft? Are you joking? As far as the first to the market gets the spoils theory, ever-increasing quarterly losses could hardly be considered "spoils". Your prohibitive cost of entry theory is wrong, too, as this is the cheapest way to vend books. As far as the "simply can't discount the advantage of name brand recognition" theory goes, that is about all they actually have going for them. You seem to think Barnes & Noble, Borders, Bertelmans have no "name brand recognition". They'll come up with a snappy name, too, with easy access. Will the market give them 20 points each when they announce they will sell discs? I doubt it. MV BABER
