Consider his comment that ... "Mr. McNealy's libertarian political views show he must be 'smoking pot.'" Pathetic. It's no wonder everybody hates Microsoft. It's bad enough that they have to attack McNealy in order to compete with Sun, but would it kill them to leave the Libertarians and the marijuana enthusiasts out of their Crusade? Or did they say that to try to woo Dubya Bush, who is no friend of the Libertarians and whose father was on the board of directors of Eli Lilly, whose Prozac marketshare is threatened by marijuana competition?

Balmer getting nasty. I think he should leave the remarks to the Sunw and Oracle products and not go after McNealy's personal views. I also think the economic environment is right to launch such campaigns emphasizing price and performance. Now is the time for MSFT to make a move in the higher end. dot.bombs have been fueling Sunw's growth. I don't even believe the IBM types made any dents in Sunw's biz. However the bursting internet bubble might be Sunw's worst enemy.
