To all, very good article at the fortune site on MSFT. The first of the five Giants in the Fortune 500. I have pasted the last paragraph in the article. With todays bogus news from DOJ it is very approproe. Microsoft: Is Your Company Its Next Meal? Now the giants of the FORTUNE 500 have reason to fear: To maintain its historic growth rates, Microsoft must win big in a slew of new businesses. Still, for now, no threat seems quite as imposing as Microsoft's. True, there's no law against doing well, and there is little evidence that Microsoft's behavior, scary though it may sometimes seem, should be considered illegal. Says Anderson of the Yankee Group: "The only thing Bill has monopolized is brainpower, and as I read the law, there are no restrictions on that." Companies that see Microsoft approaching their business can't wait for Washington to intervene. They have to ready themselves for battle against a new kind of foe. BankAmerica CEO Coulter says, "I have to ask myself--how does my team compare to Microsoft?" So how does it compare? Coulter's response: "I've got to keep investing in my team." pathfinder.com I propose a toast to MSFT, That it continue to flourish and that the DOJ and its pack of running dogs return to the kennel.
