MICROSOFT: THE BATTLE FOR THE CYBER FUTURE businessweek.com That's Business Week weighing in with a fairly mundane article. There's a big Bill interview too, I'm sure it'll be good for some quotes but I haven't read it yet. From this article, one quote, strictly for amusement. Industry executives and observers paint two starkly different scenarios depending on the suits' outcome. If the government prevails, Microsoft will still dominate PC operating systems, but there will be more room for innovation, they say. The downside, however, would be more government intervention. If Justice loses, critics say Microsoft would emerge emboldened and could run roughshod over new markets while impotent federal regulators look on. Eventually, doomsters predict, it would control corporate computing, the Internet, and the new world of digital appliances every bit as tightly as it now rules the desktop. Of course, it's not just doomsters that predict that last one. Right Reggie? Oh, sorry, that was in a different context of the ever elusive and ephemeral Mind of Reg(TM). Like Bill said to the cable guys, "Wince will be just like Windows, but don't be paranoid.". Andy Grove rules, I say. Cheers, Dan.
