Mr. Lucky says: >What do you think about the possibility of Veritas getting >acquired by Microsoft? Or acquired by Sun? I say: Again, I'm continually amazed by the utter neglect of these stocks in these forums (LGTO, VRTS)... other stocks get far more traffic. I don't see Veritas as a good aquistion candidate by a system software vendor, because one of the core strengths of the company is their ability to license the product to vendors of multiple operating systems (i.e. HP and Sun and Microsoft, for instance). Now, for a software conglomerate, like Computer Associates, or for a division of a large system vendor that focuses on multi-platform integration (IBM), this is a possibility. Thomas
