Of course you may be right because I cannot predict the future. But I envision a much different scernario than one you have detailed. True, I believe MSFT is in a slow decline and is late to the internet. If they can execute, as they have proven they can do in the past, to catch up on the internet S curve would be truly amazing. I do not believe they can. ORCL is shipping products today that MSFT wishes to ship in the future. I believe they missed the turn. Yes, these are my beliefs but only time will tell and, of course, our portfolios. JMO, Bob.

Not only were the antendees generally uninterested in Sun's freebies... --- These, of course would have been the developers who resent not being able to develop in Java for Windows only, right? Or are you including .NOT's Cobol programmers in there too? --- Microsoft's 'vision' of the Internet is of this great big mouth of the Unix driven/open standards world-wide-whale closing down around it. --- Soon, it will be entirely dark in Redmond, except for the occasional phosporescent floatie in amongst the plankton. -JCJ
