I respect Anthony's opinions. His record speaks for itself. I think IMON will go a little higher next week and I'm sure Anthony wouldn't mind. He will be there to short it again. I would like to see some good discussions on the significance of IMON's new search engine software, instead of personal attacks between longs and shorts. Here are some of my thoughts. All comments are welcome. Could Microsoft use a product like WebZinger™ 6.00, the Internet's first ''Supra-Search Engine'', and bundle it with a future version of MSFT Explorer? This possible scenario could give MSFT a strong advantage over Netscape Navigator and also enable MSFT to enter the search engine market where YHOO currently dominates. Think of it. MSFT has been able to muscle itself into every type of software business. Word Processor Software. WordPerfect dominated the market until MSFT introduced MS Word. Networking Software. MSFT's Windows NT is now the premier player among NOVL and BNYN. Internet Browser Software. MSFT licensed SPYG's codes to produce MSFT Explorer and gobble up market shares away from NSCP's Navigator. Online Service. MSFT has ventured into the market with Microsoft Network, but faces tough competition from AOL. Internet Streaming media Software. MSFT has Windows Media Player to compete with Real Network. It seems that the search engine market is a strong possibility for MSFT next major move. steve
