There is a conspiracy theory that is rumored for MSFT's presidents comments and that is Microsoft is planning to be buying a few small and bigger companies, and they are trying to get them cheap. Whether this is true or not, time will only tell. But I agree with you, MSFT's president is not dumb otherwise he would not be MSFT's president. Every word these guys speak publicly is pre-calculated. But who knows, Dan Quale was the VP of the greatest nation on earth and he always said (and continues to say) dumb things all the time!

Dipy, the issue is not if this guy is dumb - it is that he is such an irresponsible SOB, (even after MSFT got sued for antitrust reasons by US Govt. with AOL, Netscape, ORCL as witnesses!) - to drive it to hundreds of small companies that are trying to survive and make a buck. After his reckless statement, MSFT comes up with a $ 2 increase in its internet access charge to $ 21.95 to match AOL, so that all the 800 pound Gorillas like MSFT, AOL, YHOO make humongous profits in this ever expanding internet market, while small chip/semis and hi-tech companies get whacked more! If it is calculated move by him to bring down the price of some attractive takeover companies, then the US Govt. and the Judge have to really hand it to him in their pending suit - split him to pieces to make it amenable for others to compete with MSFT!
