FWIW, I'm in for 8000 yesterday. This is another "anything but MSFT" stock which should do well in the coming months. Other favorite holding : WIND Looking for others who will benefit from a level playing field.

Nice...very nice. smartmoney.com [excerpts] November 12, 1999 The Real Threat to Microsoft Linux sets things in motion. Microsoft built all its power on software code that made computers easy to use and valuable for businesses. Now that business craves the Internet, Microsoft can't rely on updated versions of its operating system for growth. It needs to make software for running the servers that house and transmit Internet information. That's where Linux becomes a potential dragon slayer. Linux is easy to adapt to, because it's a lot like Unix, which is itself comparable to Windows NT. But where Microsoft's revolutionary move was to convert text commands into icons, Linux's quantum step was to let software developers all over the world test and enhance it for free. ... So how can Linux pose a threat? The answer is all around you, in the expanding use of the Web. As Koznetski explains, the increased speed and computing power of the networks that deliver the Web is driving manufacturers to provide all sorts of devices to connect to it. These devices, from phones to set-top boxes to personal organizers, need to be relatively cheap in order to attract a critical mass of buyers. Windows CE, the relevant operating code, costs between $50 and $70, Koznetski says, while Linux upgrades and enhancements are free once a buyer has bought or licensed a single copy. And the threat isn't just to Windows CE. If a cost-cutting manufacturer builds a Linux-powered Web-connected device with a calendar, a consumer can work quite happily on that device without another copy of Microsoft Office, which in turn makes her less dependent on Windows. "That is kind of a frightening model for Microsoft," says Koznetski. --------------------------- 10 most active stocks on Island ECN (8 p.m. EST) [CNTR was the second-most actively traded issue after-hours Friday] Centura Software (CNTR:Nasdaq) 4 +21/32 74,508 During the 'regular' market hours Friday more than the float was traded...
