Can anyone comment on the following from the MSN Investor. If this is factual it is quite disturbing! Can this be retaliation for LE recent comments? Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) rose as much as 1 15/16 to 103 1/2 as the world's largest computer software company's SQL Server 7.0, Microsoft's new Windows NT server, is outperforming Oracle Corp.'s (ORCL) 8.0 product, Neil Herman, an analyst at Salomon Smith Barney Inc., said in a note to investors. Germany-based SAP AG (SAPHY), the world's biggest maker of business management software, is running SQL Server as a ''preferred database platform'' on SAP's new R/3 business-management software. Herman said. Microsoft is likely to gain significant market share of SAP's R/3 primarily at the expense of Oracle, the analyst said. Separately, Microsoft rolled out its Windows 98 operating system Thursday and said it's pleased with what retailers are reporting about the new product. The company said it sold more than 120,000 copies of the operating system even before stories opened.
