Toy, If you want my reasoning, click on my alias, and you can read plenty of my prior posts. You'll see that, not only am I pro-MSFT, I work for MSFT, and I make no attempt to hide it.
The fact that you heard somewhere Microsoft is working on 5.1 means nothing whatsoever. Do you even know what NT 5.1 is?
I have many objective reasons for believing Microsoft will be successful over the next 10 years. I don't need to convince you or anyone, but I choose to post my beliefs at times. If you go back over the last 200 posts or so on this board, you'll get a good cross section of opinions. Rudedog, Ibexx, and others have contributed a great deal of objective info. Even Bearded One, although quite negative on Microsoft has managed to post some informative tidbits. We've tried to coax Cheryl into posting some objective info to no avail. Hal spouts meaningless, biased drivel though he's widely ignored. Every once in a while, we get someone like you who jumps on and says (paraphrased) "Man, Microsoft is overpriced and it's going down! I know a lot, and my friend says it doesn't look good. Since I've now established that it doesn't look good, everybody run for the exits!"
Good luck,
