Microsoft Investors and The Greater Fool Theory.... Look around among those still holding this smelling bag of crap. Sure, it will go up and down and up and down and up and down. But methinks the bloom is off this rose for some time to come. This is truly a watershed event. The DOJ should watching. The free market has begun the job of breaking up Microsoft. Toy's right. Not one Microsoft investor has come to this table to defend Gates actions. Was great when he was getting away with murder. Wall Street was in on this scam. Wall Street has loaded up on NT prematurely - I know, I know...for applications, STUPID.... What we are witnesssing is Internet Wave 2 unbundling a CLOSED, ENERGY TAKING PYRAMID SCHEME. Microsoft's competitors see that growth during Wave 2 is ALL about opening up, extending, giving, sharing, helping. These pure Internet business model values ALL run counter to the Microsoft's ethics and business model. The great thing is that you CAN'T change the colors and spots of a cat. The world has just placed a marker on Gates head. His value will go down the drain from here on out.......

Toy, Since you invest in NEITHER NOVL or MSFT, then who really gives a rat's as* about your comparison. Your hindsight is definitely 20/20, but whose isn't? If you were have as good at picking stocks and determining trends as you think you are, you'd be too busy counting your money to spend as much time posting on this thread as you do. You may be enlightened on the technical aspects of the battle between MSFT and the DOJ, NOVL, etc, but if you're so hot on NOVL, then why don't you sink some money into it instead of your Canuck penny stocks? Your claim of "I'm not interested in US stocks, especially tech stocks" is a sad reflection upon your investing skills. Since this isn't a product evaluation page, your posts are sometimes interesting, but mostly repetitive. We ALL know how you feel about MS's products, so that's nothing new. It's also not new that you don't invest in US tech stocks, so WHY you're here is really a mystery. So maybe you and Cheryl can get together and tell yourselves how bad MSFT is, how great NOVL is, and then laugh about how you COULD have had a 125% + ROI, but would rather get NO return on all the hot air you wasted on this thread.
