"Strange, On one hand, you choose to disbelieve Microsoft's marketing. On the other, you choose to believe their brand
position so completely that you ignore the facts. The only consistency seems to be that whatever you consider the
most negative for Microsoft, you choose to believe."

Strange, I thought I made my point clear between the difference between an upgrade an a new OS. True, I do disbelieve MSFT marketing spin in some cases. Is MSN profitable like Yahoo or AOL? Who has more mindshare. The financial numbers do not lie when comparing MSN to other internet companies.

If you know the true facts, I would love to hear them. I admit I know only what I read and I believe a minority of that. When it comes to MSFT, "they are special", and I am even more skeptical.

Did I make myself clear to avoid any further confusion. If I were you, I would get a "crash" kit ready. May I suggest a shot of vodka, a dubey, and a valium. After 4:00 P.M. today you might need it when you hear operating earnings, revenue and foward guidance from the company. My timing may be wrong, but if I were you I would keep the kit handy. I am positive you are going to need it in the future.

JMO, Bob.

MSFT is suffering from the parent syndrome. There are more than a few people who really believe they must be punished. Maybe if Reno took Billy over her knee and spanked him in public it will resolve all the wrong she feels he's committed and then the investment community can go forward without worrying about the way MSFT markets it's products.
