William: You overestimate the Justice Department's authority. They will not allow Microsoft to compete unfairly, that's unfairly William, not that they are not allowed to compete. There is absolutely nothing that can stop Microsoft from developing a superior product and then making a big media splash over it. Justice will not stop fair competition! You are making a big error in underestimating Microsoft or any of the other big media giants from entering this arena. They can afford to sit back and wait for the internet to develop. Yahoo has a measly 100 million and an extremely inflated stock in which to try to establish a lead. Most of their ads are bought with barter or by fly by night upstart internet companies that will be gone from the universe in the next few years. You act like 30 million in a quarter in revenues and a measly 5 cents in earnings (from operations) justifies a company with 386 employees to be worth over 5 billion dollars! You have your head in the clouds now William, you've been right on the stock for a long time but you should be flexible enough to realize that there is no way on earth that this puny little company is going to compete with the giants.
