[retail customers were buying it just because they wanted to get the "best" version.] That's exactly what I'm saying. People are still saying "I want the newest and the best". The theory predicts that they would be saying "I just want the basics, no new features".

Scary math due to growth slowdown! I'm sure this is lowball, but: 1.54 FY 2000 / 1.42 FY 1999 = 1.084 = 8.4 percent growth 98.00shr/1.54 FY2000 = 63x 63/8 = 7.9 factor of premium! Microsoft is a GREAT company, but...!

OFF TOPIC --- PREMIUM I've encountered more people buying PREMIUM stuff they don't need than I can remember. I get especially annoyed when gas jockeys (Refined Petroleum Product Salespeople) try to get me to put premium gasoline in my car. The car is designed for regular 87 octane non-leaded gasoline. I'm not about to buy a fuel that is NOT recommended. However, if businesses want to buy PREMIUM software from Microsoft, at least they won't hurt their system and we'll make a few bucks from it. Let them go ahead! Cheers, PW.
