sandeep- The problem with inbred management is they tend to make everything look like the past achievements they're familiar with. Now everything looks like Windows even though we may be undergoing fundamental changes.

IBM went through the same thing with the "old school tie" crowd hanging on until the bottom line fell apart. It took an outsider like Gerstener to turn things around.

We are moving to an apps for free world while MSFT investors are counting on an apps for more world. Microsoft has yet to figure out how to make money in this environment. 30% growth projections are about as hollow as DELL's 30% promises.

--Blisenko, every company has holes in their plans. --

Yes Sandeep, but on this discussion board you should have seen the MSFT cheerleaders a few years ago. There wasn't a lot of rational thought there.

On the other hand you in particular seem to have one of the best-balanced set of viewpoints on this board today.
