MSFt is primarily in the software business Gerald. What percentage of their revenue is in any other sub-sector other than the development of software? How much revenue percentage accounts for MSN? How much revenue percentage are they account for in the entertainment industry (non-software related)? Please elaborate? Let me go and see any perspectus or ask any industry analyst what primary business they are in. I think I know what I'll find.

So Gerald, a rose is a rose is a rose.

Please dont compare the diverse sub-sectors that IBM is in to that of MSFT. There is no comparison. IBM generates 5-6 times MSFT's revenue for a reason.

Sorry Gerald (but it was a nice try).

>>Toy, have you noticed how that now that there's a standard OS for hand-held and palm computers, Windows CE (WinCE)...>>

I thought that the Palm Pilot from 3COM was the standard?

FWIW
