Microsoft is betting its trademark. I mean, who wants to buy everything from just one company? Try imagine your breakfast with: - Kellogg's cornflakes - Kellogg's milk - Kellogg's sugar - Kellogg's coffee - Kellogg's boiled eggs

Oh, YooHoo, Sailor?!? MSFT needs come up with new ways to EARN money, not lose it. And investing in tech equities and then having its CEO talk down the values of its investments is NOT a way to earn money. MSFT's business profit is declining. The only area of increasing at MSFT is tech investment. And that part is essentially a mutual fund, which should be valued at a P/E of 1 like any other mutual fund. How's this for more money loosing ideas? EMI to release tunes in Microsoft format ZDNet News October 23, 2000 5:13 PM PT EMI Records has chosen Microsoft Corp.'s (Nasdaq: MSFT) Windows format for downloadable versions of its music. In a deal to be announced Tuesday, the record company will tap RioPort to encode and help distribute the record company's catalog. A RioPort spokesman said EMI's digital downloads will be encoded in the Microsoft Windows Media format. The decision is the second in less than a week from EMI. Last week, EMI Records and the Tornado Group inked a deal to use Tornado groups' DMDS technology, which can operate on Microsoft Windows Media Player, to distribute EMI music in Europe. EMI is in the middle of a downloading trial that began in July with what the company claimed was the biggest digital music release ever. Sony and Universal, two other record companies mulling digital music releases, all use a proprietary software to encode their music. -- Ben Charny, ZDNet News zdnet.com
