PSFT is not a quality company. It is a lower price option that goes after the mid to small costumer. Because we were way tooooo slow to go after this market, we now find ourselves offering to pay an outrageously high 19.50 a share for PSFT. The clear winner is SAP. Workers in India are high end, and are well paid. Many of them have came to work in the US on work visas, but because of 9/11, those are very hard to get. The bugs in ORCL apps are long gone but the memory lives on. Pushing the product out the door was Larry's idea, just another reason to reward him with in the money options (lol). Larry has been late to spot trends and capitalize on then. He is now a far second to SAP and finds himself paying dearly for crap like PSFT. The sad thing is that if the merger were to have been done at the right price, both groups of shareholders would have been big winner, as it stands now, the deal will most likely be scrubbed. PSFT will drop like a rock and ORCL will pop when there is no deal.
