<< As I have always been saying, NT 5 will not be accepted by the real world until well into 2000 and likely 2001. >> Toy, Now that is just ridiculous. The article says "some" won't deploy NT 5.0 for at least 18 months. What about everyone that isn't included in the "some"? I believe that there is a significant number of companies that will be beating down the doors to get NT 5.0 as soon as possible. Some might even deploy NT 5.0 the same day it is made available. <g> << some attendees maintained they won't deploy NT 5.0 for at least 18 months after its release. >> This is my first post on this board. I'm long MSFT, concerned about the market, mildly concerned about the DOJ fiasco, but totally convinced that MSFT will grow well beyond what any of us can imagine at this time. I know they currently have the largest market cap, but I contend that they will have 10 x their current sales within the next 10 - 12 years. Maybe the PE will be 20 instead of 50, but the stock will still be 3 - 5 times as high as it is now. If the DOJ splits up MSFT, the total value of the pieces could be even higher. Dave
