...and this one. Windows Magazine: The Trouble with Windows* winmag.com The Windows family of operating systems is facing a potentially fatal threat. No, it's not the Justice department. It's not bugs or bloatware. It's not Microsoft's big-bully reputation. And it's definitely not the iMac. It's the price. The trouble with Windows is that it's just too darn expensive.

JC, I sympathize, but quoting anything written by Jesse "The No-Body" Berst as anti-M$FT evidence is a non-starter. There's no "there" there in anything he's ever written. All of his columns are of the form: "I'm gonna let you in on a little secret: Things could be this way, but then again they could also be that way. What do you think?" Notice how he finally equivocates his dire warning about Microsoft stock into oblivion with his usual hind-end osculatory prose: I want to end by reaffirming that I consider Bill Gates, Steve Ballmer and Bob Herbold the smartest threesome in the high-tech industry. Well gorsh, Jess, I could never have guessed you think something as absolutely radical, original, and profound as that! We wouldn't want to jeopardize our livelihood now would we? You want to know what'll happen to MSFT stock if FASB passes new accounting rules about employee options? It might dip for a couple of days. Then the bargain hunters will be all over it. Regards, --QS
