JO: I know who RS is and I can't believe that they use him as a conduit. What is the point. Why don't they just come out and tell the shareholders themselves or have you forgotten about Fair Disclosure. Wouldn't make sense to run stuff through him and raise the suspicion that GS got a head start. I don't buy it. Too much Institutional interest on Thompsons today. This was just pure panic on a projection that goes a long way out. But thanks for the thought. JFD

Just Observing,

If the Microsoftee glee club spent as much time observing the real world trends and facts as they do delighting in the viewing of the bestial eccentricities of the lower vertebrates they might have sold at 100 instead of sliding down the edge of this falling knife for the last few years...

Linux is turning out to be the death of a thousand cuts and its only a matter of time before an artery is nicked. The sooner Microsoft makes itself into a services provider the better for its shareholders. FREE is still the most powerful brand name regardless of the product.

Cheers,
Norm

"Directory Listing Denied

This Virtual Directory does not allow contents to be listed."

How the heck does that make me want to use Microsoft?

JMHO.

This is extremely funny and reminds me of when Microsoft tried to make Hotmail run under Windows the first time. I wonder how their "trustworthy computing" campaign ends - probably with something not very trustworthy.
