Some WINd musings... All of us who have been watching and participating in the WINd roller coaster ride over the past few years have done so because we are firm believers in it's potential to be a dominant company in the post PC era. Now even though some posters on this thread have reservations with WINd's decision to buy out it's biggest competitor, one cannot argue that to fend of the likes of Microsoft, it's desire to bulk up with this acquisition can only help WINd in the long run. If we have taken a peek into the future market(s) for WINd's products and like what we see (thanks in large measure to Allen Benn), then so have behemoths like Intel, Sun Microsystems, Cisco and others. Just as we have bought shares into this company to align ourselves with a potential winner, so too should one of the Gorillas to ensure a future Goliath's allegiance. I believe it will be foolhardy for a company like Intel and/or Sun Microsystems not to own a small stake in WINd. Karim
