Citizen Gates RE: "...the stock will keep pushing up till summer; Trust Bill Gates and Balmer and rest of MSFT management. JohnD Actually, trust is now a problem. Hal PS: It's now a case of the Kings Clothes. Right or wrong, here is what some non-shareholders believe: "Microsoft cut them (Netscape)off at the knees. Microsoft did not just release their own browser for free. They made it impossible to install Windows without it, and almost impossible to uninstall. To add icing to their cake, most versions of IE just flatly refused to even download most versions of Communicator." (from Microsoft Against the World). In fact, trusting Gate's cleverly worded negotiation proposals meant trusting Microsoft not to jump through some glaring Loopholes in the plans. He was trusted by regulators in 1996-97 on similar type proposals. Once burned, twice shy. The problem now is that Gates has lost the good will and heroic status he had 2 years ago, but does not realise this fact. People are starting to laugh. This is not good for business.

<<Trust Bill Gates and Balmer and rest of MSFT management.>> Ha! Their the ones who screwed the shareholders in the first place! If they had just kept a clean business model, MSFT would still be on top without violating any laws! Trust a person who has the recollections of Ronald Reagan when it comes rembering whether he did something wrong? If they want to REALLY help the shareholders, they should take the heat and offer themselves up for LIFE imprisonment for what they did to consumers and the tech industry. The DOJ should leave the company alone and Gates and Balmer can spend their days in a country-club prison, playing golf and getting to know one another REAL GOOD. Do the crime, do the time! -Bill_H
