You're right on target Unfortunately MSFT's aggressive marketing leaves no room for other companies to occupy any part of the niche they are after. They want the enterprise network market. They only have a departmental level product in NT so they have to spread FUD whenever someone else comes up with a decent product that might threaten their strategy. In this case however they were caught trying to interfere with Novell's ability to sell a decent product to its customers that use NT who also happen to be MSFT's customers. Its exactly why they are in the Justice Department's cross hairs. Its called restraint of trade. ============================ Isn't it nice that MSFT keeps track of people's email and postings. On the subject of the stock, it didn't push through the 52 week high today and met resistance. I think many shorts were flushed out by the unexpected rise from 130 to 149. Now that they are gone the stock is sitting at its highs with a not so good quarter coming up.
