Hey, Toy I see we are having another one of those bad weeks for Microsoft. You keep "crying the blues", and we will keep counting our money!

Toy, why must you put words in my mouth? The discussion was about "dominating enterprise computing", not "taking over the world". There has been no substantial change in the dynamics of the marketplace, despite the growing popularity of LINUX and NOVL's impressive performance of late. Please cite the source of the following: "NOVL now holding its marketshare and...picking up new customers". Also, SUN, AOL, NTSP are a small part of the overall industry. Their "ganging up" for legal action or mergers does not represent your flippant claim that "the Industry that has clearly ganged up on MSFT". Most of the industry realizes that the de-facto standards that MSFT has established has been good for the industry. NT5 is/will be late. I have a 5 year time horizon for my investment decisions. I do not see any long-term threat to MSFT's dominance and growth. NOVL is good, healthy competition, and in a couple of years, if you have not gone broke from your lack of investment guts, you will be complaining about how unfair it was for MSFT to out maneuver NOVL and continue to take their customers away from them.
