Paul -- on your point, note the story in the Wall Street Journal today saying MS is pulling back from its foray into entertainment programming on the web. And as I've posted here before, the MSNBC web sit recently laid off a number of people -- apparently NOT profitable.

MS is not only non invincible, it is having downright mediocre results at some of its ventures, where it cannot bring monopoly power to bear.

>>> I think that this fear of Microsoft will eventually dissipate.

I'm not that bullish, yet, even Mr. Kight said MS is here to stay. But I think it will be a long time before MSFDC is processing payments in production. MS has been known to be late with its products (under-statement). Where is Windows98 or NT 5.0 by the way?

I don't think anyone on this thread is knocking any analyst.
Instead there is an attempt to understand the
relationship between the company in which many of us have
invested and a Market Maker. Understanding the nature and
consequences of this relationship makes us more informed investors.

As an aside regarding the recent downdraft, with a little time
this too shall pass.
