Microsoft should see an acceleration in revenue during 2001 due to a combination of stronger Windows 2000 sales as well as a ramping up of SQL Server 2000 and Exchange Server 2000. This boost from the new products could be incremental to PC growth. Gartner, Dataquest think 2001 will see 25% PC growth even without a boost from Windows2000. So it must be higher with windows2000 boost.

That may prove to be a very prescient post, Harv.

"I think there is relatively little stock left for sale between here and 72." Well maybe a few... :-( Microsoft VP to sell $23 million in stock WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Microsoft Corp. (MSFT.O) senior vice president James Allchin has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission to sell 350,000 common shares, valued at $23 million, of the software giant. Allchin made the filing on Oct. 23 and it was publicly released by the SEC on Friday. It comes as hackers broke into Microsoft's computer systems and saw, but did not change, key source codes, according to Chief Executive Steve Ballmer. Allchin's filing showed he acquired the 350,000 shares after exercising options. He has not sold any Microsoft stock in the three months prior to making the filing. A Microsoft spokeswoman did not immediately return a telephone call seeking comment on his planned stock sale. Allchin beneficially owned more than 1 million shares of Microsoft as of Sept. 8, according to the company's most recent proxy filed with the SEC in late September. His ownership included 990,000 vested stock options. Microsoft, which is based in Redmond, Wash., has more than 5 billion common shares outstanding. Its shares were trading up $3-7/16
