Ramsey, Irrational optimism in forecasts? There are a billion Chinese and there must be a few dollars sloshing around there now - they have got quite a few from me. So much stuff is made in China these days. At the moment getting poorer? I don't believe that one. How come you say they are getting poorer when they are exporting like mad, the population is stabilizing quickly and capital accumulation is rapid? They hit bottom a decade or so ago. And how can there be a RS vacation effect when you are still here? This must be just a little sag. Happy holidays. Mqurice

Faith moves mountains!! The hype I never question, the facts are what I do. As Barksdales simply question proved, MSFT is a monoply, and a very dangerous one. In time, one of two things happens; either MSFT bellies up and writes their own plan that is accepted or the government will do it. Sorry to say this, but it is bi-partisan. So Bill either puts that mind to work and draft a plan that placates the gov, or he sinks in his alturistic stance. I still think his best option is to license the basic O/S to the browser guys and say integrate your stuff, becasue that is where we are taking it. That satisfies the government. There is nothing socialist about it and it satisfies the basic spirit of fair competition and still perserves MSFT's legacy intellectual properties. It still provides revenue to them. The dangerous game they play is WIN AT ALL COST!!, Well, it willl cost them plenty!!
