Separating the award winning fiction of Ellison Ting, v2.0:

< Get REAL, NT is their only growing product line. I had MSFT options and made a killing but I know when the song's over.>

From the facts from the MSFT official earnings release for Sept 96

<Product Groups

Revenues from the Applications and Content Product Group increased 13% to $1.11 billion in the September quarter. Revenue growth was driven by sales of desktop applications, particularly 32-bit versions of Microsoft Office and Microsoft Office Pro.

Platforms Product Group revenues were $1.19 billion in the September quarter, representing a growth rate of 15%. As expected, revenues from retail upgrade versions of Microsoft Windows 95 decreased compared to the comparable quarter of the prior year, the quarter during which Windows 95 was released. Windows 95 unit volume continued to build, as units licensed through the OEM channel increased strongly.

Microsoft Windows NTr 4.0 was released in July 1996, fueling revenue increases for both Windows NT Workstation and Windows NT Server. Additionally, revenues from server applications in the BackOfficeT family were strong.>

So you see, NT is NOT "their only growing product line," is it Ellison? Yeah, 14% growth for MSFT is an abberation. They had tough comparisons due to 95. The market is smart enough to figure that out. But markets look ahead Elllsion. And they obviously see something YOU don't. Face it. YOU LEFT A LOT OF MONEY ON THE TABLE, PLAYER.
