Regarding mergers/buyouts...

Could you elaborate on why you think Broderbund
makes a good partner for so many?

...and...
<I seriously doubt MSFT will buy anyone,
though it would be relatively easy and cheap to do.>

Microsoft ought to sell off the gaming part, dump
all their entertainment into one pile, and sell it.
They blew Cinemania--that could have been big.
I think the sum of Microsoft's parts are bigger
than the whole. So, spin the games off, detach
it from the OS division, it would be a cheap way
to create a "smaller, friendlier Microsoft", at
least in everybody's eyes. Now that I think about
it, dump MSN in there and get rid of all of it.
With the sale pay a one time dividend.
