I would be happy to make a next year prediction since I predict that next year MSFT will be in the heart of all their troubles. By Jan 1, 00 the industry will be utterly ticked off with MSFT that their Windows2000 will still not have been released while every other OS has executed their new version - including 64 bit. In fact, MSFT will likely have announced by then that Active Directory aint ready for prime-time and/or other major components may not be in the initial release when it releases in Q1/Q2 2000. The Y2K issue will have MSFT consuming steaming mad at MSFT because of all the glitches in all their code - including Win95 and Win98. Consumer confidence and satisfaction with MSFT's toying around and arrogance will be at an all-time-low. The DOJ trial will have already seen the first round go to the DOJ and MSFT will still be in court trying to win some kind of appeal before the Government finally lays down its remedy on MSFT. In the mean time, the Java, Linux, Directory Services, and other technologies will be on fire and all those customers that were brainwashed into believing MSFT's story of "implement a homogeneous MSFT only environment" will have had enough as they watch the IT world go by them and take advantage of the newest technologies and OSes. So Frank, you want my predictions - you asked the wrong guy since I have never been afraid to make predictions on stocks. All I could hurt is my pride. This is all post split stock pricing... January 2000 = $50 - $70 June 2000 = $60 - $90 (Windows2000 might rear its ugly head finally) January 2004 = $50 - $80 (Gov. remedies take their toll and competition puts MSFT back in its place within the industry) There you go Frank. Now its your turn. Tell us all what miracles MSFT will pull off next year and in 5 years. I really want to hear what a MSFT Cheerleader has to say about these predictions. Toy
