Let's flip things a little: If PocketPC is so superior as all of the evidence you've churned out suggests, then why on earth is MSFT's share down to single digits? What could warrant it losing SO much market share in so little time (what, in less than a year)? What conceivable reason could there be? Maybe wince is just the Mac of the personal computer world - superior, but largely irrelevant. Andre

Why post if you are making up your facts? I stand corrected. I don't have the time to go back digging. But I'm pretty sure that most of the articles you have posted here have already been posted here. Maybe not by you, but I've seen just about all of them. Don't insult my intelligence with your attacks against me. I don't just post 3 sentence "yeah Palm" posts, I try to add value. Put me on ignore.

Hate to generate repetition, but I believe someone once asked you (advalorem) what proportion your MSFT vs. Palm holdings were. I never saw an answer. Did you? Andre Andre- I asked and advalorem ignored. Later, he posted a disclosure of sorts indicating that he had more total capital invested in PALM than in MSFT. To be honest, I find this hard to believe, but if true, perhaps he is heavily invested in Compaq (or some other angle) and hopes to benefit personally if Pocket PC increases market share. His opinions aren't the problem I have with him as I am as worried as the next guy about Pocket PC devices. The problem I have with advalorem is that he IS repetitive and if he doesn't post the same article over and over, he at least posts his own biased views over and over breaking no new ground. This causes me to believe that he has a vested interest in PALM's demise. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and I certainly want to read the opinions of those critical of PALM, but not over and over and over making the same points. I am not going to mark this OT since I agree with you that advalorem may impact those that don't follow this thread regularly.
