Robert, Where do you see Microsoft in the next five years? Do you think it has seen its day as the "one and only game in town," or do you think they will emerge with a new product that blows their competition out of the water? Many think their rivals will do the company in and that Gates will be a thing of the past? How do you read it? I have played with this stock for the last five years and during that time, it seems the light is getting slightly dimmer each year.

Robert, please reread my post and see if the words 'undocumented calls' or 'responsibility' or 'owes' shows up anywhere in it. The calls don't have to be undocumented. Though I suppose you dismiss repeated claims by other software companies of delays in getting OS information from Microsoft. "Late Documented" vs. "undocumented." And as for 'owes,' we weren't talking ethics. We were talking consumer benefits. I did not say in my post that Microsoft 'owes' anyone anything.
