<< Many people, including myself, believe that MSFT will not be one of the horsemen of the internet >> This is simply not the case. MSFT plays a huge role in the internet and the internet will be a major factor in MSFT's future growth. Take a look at their .Net initiative / Enterprise 2000 suite. It's almost entirely built around the internet. Also, PC growth has been fueled significantly by the growth of the internet. MSFT will also play a large role in respect to the wireless internet. MSN is larger than AOL when you look at the overseas user base. << My bet is that the p/e will come in the same area as HWP. >> Not likely in my opinion. Hardware manufacturers are and should be valued differently than software companies. Hardware is a much more competitive business than software and the margins reflect this. PS and PE ratios for software and hardware companies are not apples to apples. Dave
