Tech,

IBM is not just targetting the mid-size business. Their main focus is the Large scale Fortune 100 customers. That is their first priority. They still want the other business as well but fortune 100 accounts are KEY.

(just read your last note so ignore some of the previous statement)

I dont know where you are getting this information that the Service Business is not rosey for IBM. That is IBM's fastest growing component!! That is where IBM makes most of their profit! Please explain how you feel otherwise.

MSFT is primarily a software company. Thats basically it. They will not be getting into the service business. They are a software company.

Know the company you are so BULLISH on. Are you sure of the reasons why you are bullish on MSFT. I have heard a lot of reasons but yours are pretty unique.

I think you should confine your comments to things about which you know something, in order to avoid looking naive. IBM does not just push their own software, and Microsoft has been known to compete with its customers. IBM's service business is quite "rosy."

JMHO.
