Monopoly Domino Power RE"Look at the deals the internet search engines get in: ..." What will life be like without Netscape?: If, and when, Microsoft uses its OS monopoly to create an Explorer browser monopoly for itself without having to compete for it with consumers, do you think that the search engine market will be next? If Microsoft has an OS/Browser monopoly, will we be offered the choice of using a Microsoft search engine or none at all? Or, will Gates just gouge the existing search firms out of business thus forcing him buy one up at a fire sale price? The more monopolies Gates can string together by precluding consumer choice, the cheaper he can offer Windows to consumers. Eventually it will be free, including the only software you will ever need or be exposed to. What a wonderful world. HR One OS > One Browser > One Search Engine = Consumer Choice?

Good Morning Dwight, I saw this little article on Reuters and wanted to pass it on here: * Money managers who hold MICROSOFT CORP stock are cautiously optimistic about the company's prosects in the face of the goverment's anti-trust suit, the New York Times said. Philip Orlando, chief investment officer for Value Line Asset Management, predicted Microsoft's stock will soar to $110 a share this year and $130 next year, the Times said. Robert Turner, chief investment officer of Turner Investment Partners in Philadelphia, who managers the Turner Growth fund, said said Microsoft's stock could go up quite a bit even if the legal battle was long, the Times said. Turner said there are a lot of deferred earnings associated with Windows 95 that make the company's stock look undervalued, the Times said. (Reuters 06:23 PM ET 05/24/98) Best Regards Frank
