As LE said to BG, "do not take it personally, it is just business". I suggest that we all take this advice and start concentrating on the companies fundamentals and product cycles. 1. WIN2000 is having a tough time of it regardless of the PR. 2. .Net is at least two years away. Thats if they hit their internal target. What's the liklihood of that happening? 3. The OS is a thing of the past. In 2-3 years we are going to be wondering why one ever existed. We all know MSFT is far behind on the S curve. What are their chances of catching up to the likes of ORCL, PSFT, AOL, ARBA, SUNW, CMRC, and the dozen or so other internet software companies that have developed in the past 2-3 years. 4. When will BG and SB come to their senses and settle this silly dispute with the DOJ. If not, the bleeding will continue. 5. Finally, when are we going to make some real money on the stock? 6. The list could go on! Thanks in advance, Bob.

...a century from now Bill Gates will be likely be regarded as one of the greatest philanthropists of all time... So, you're supposing he'll be 'generously' giving away hundreds of thousands of very valuable but unsold copies of W2k into a world of commodity software? --- Or are you speaking to the billions and billions of MSFT market cap Bill Gates is redistributing throughout the industry by doing this Captain Queeg imitation with the current and future US Govt antitrust action(s)? -JCJ
