Now Toy, I do think you have been warned about bashing the people posting on this thread. Especially in public, when a private message would have been just as effective. Unless you are posting your "warning" publicly in order to get some kind of reaction out of us. I've said it before: I agree that Microsoft products tend towards the shoddy side. I am long Microsoft. And I do not see an inherent contradiction between those two positions. Would you short McDonald's because you don't like their food? Would you go long Boston Chicken because you like theirs? They will hold onto MSFT stock like a boat-anchor. A "boat anchor" that's up 35% from last month, thank you very much. They have all taken the MSFT school of FUD and Propaganda. Propoganda concievably, but FUD? Do you even know what the term means? Toy, this is going to sound bizarre, but I'd advise you buy a little MSFT stock. Just a share or two, not enough to break the budget. That way, if MSFT defies your predictions and continues to spiral upward, you'll make money off of it. While if you're right, and MSFT does hit a serious brick wall, the money you lose will be a small price to pay for the immense satisfaction you will no doubt recieve from being so right. I'll testify personally it has done wonders for my peace of mind. What do you say? Joiiiiiiiiin ussssssssss......
