OOOPS! Its amazing what one little word does to your statement. I made a gramatical error in the following statement I made today... "I still stand on my statements that all this pre-trial public display of MSFT's dirty laundry will not hurt MSFT's future relationships with the IT Industry and ultimately its stock. This is not going to be a pretty year ahead for MSFT stock holders." It should have said "...public display will hurt MSFT's..." Remove the word NOT from the sentence. Sorry folks - although a lot of you on hear must have thought I converted to becoming a Pro-MSFTer - LOL!! Toy

Toy - Tell me that if you were Oracle, Sun, IBM, Novell, Netscape, CISCO, etc. and MSFT called you to discuss partnerships on technology developments that you would trust anything MSFT would have to say. You must be at least a little naive about how business is conducted in this industry. Companies who are direct competitors in some products are allies in others. These relationships are built on an understanding of the underlying business dynamics and the practical consequences of certain courses of action, not on trusting anyone's word. This is not a gentleman's club and stockholders are not rewarded by the nice guy who finished last.
