In the short term the stock price is certainly affected by these things, but long term what Bill does or doesn't do need not matter. MSFT isn't really that good at software, and as long as ORCL sticks to doing their job they can control their own fate. I heard LJE's speech at OOW, and I liked the fact that he barely mentioned MSFT. ORCL is pushing a vision that can work, and if they deliver the software (and I am sure they will), then MSFT can try to copy it, but it will be a moving target.
