[CHKPF offers Firewall-1, SecuRemote on a wide variety of platforms inlcuding UNIX, NT, others. MSFT proxy server is nowhere near Firewall-1. With MSFT keeps delaying NT 5.0 till mid-99 and chances are even NT 5.0's security will fall short that of Firewall-1, we talk about CHKPF having a relatively safe 98 earnings. This scare resembles that in late 1/98. The stock should rebound to $40's as it did in Feb and March 98] - maverick ms needs to be careful for several reasons on trying to enter this market: - doj/states already pressing ms on using its os to enter the browser market. - if critical reviews come out concerning ms security, this would delay corps. and isp implementing nt 5. - feeling that nt5 will not be implemented until after 1999, because resources will be pegged for y2k problem, and not installing/upgrading an os.
