LR, RE: In 5 days, MSFT has lost approx. 16 points. Why? Well, MSFT is trading @about 50x earnings. It's probably lots of bad news coming home to roost at once. o NT5 is late & iffy o Linux is a potential O/S market-breaker o DOJ Anti-Trust lawsuit o SUNW Java contract lawsuit o Caldera lawsuit o other lawsuits o Windows 98 is not a blockbuster o Web-TV didn't pan out o Competition from Java is becoming a reality o Thin-client competition looming on the horizon o Bad publicity is hurting the brand o Now, everytime they try to screw someone on a contract, it's public o Competition from Netware 5 o Competition in backoffice applications servers o Downward pricing pressure on PCs is cutting margins o Competition from Netscape portal business o MSN is a bust o Slate is a bust However, looking on the bright side, there is MSFT coffee being sold at Borders Books & their on-line travel & auto sales businesses. cheers, cherylw
