You forgot to add AOL on the right side of the equation... Thus.. GE + CNBC + NBC + MSFT + TSCN + CNET vs CBS + MKTW + DBCC + NCSP + AOL + GNET +/- SUNW Wouldn't be surprised to see Oracle on the bottom... seenews.com Ellison: The Net will break Microsoft By Wylie Wong Staff Writer, CNET News.com January 15, 1999, 2:35 p.m. PT SAN JOSE, California--The Internet, not the Department of Justice, is the force that will break Microsoft's monopoly , Oracle chief executive Larry Ellison said today. "Right now, the center of gravity is the personal computer. The Internet is shoving the computer out of the center...my prediction is the PC will become a peripheral product," said Ellison, in a speech at the Bay Area Council Outlook Conference here. The annual event examines the economic future of Silicon Valley. Regardless of the outcome of the government's antitrust trial, Oracle's chairman said the Internet is an "organic revolution" in the industry that is moving businesses and consumers away from Microsoft Windows and client/server-based computing to network computing. =========================== Then again Ellison's been saying something like that, one way or another, since whenever........ Plus whose side has Don King? maybe he's on ABC's team.... ============================== The "street" seems to think CBS is winning....but don't count out Ruport despite what he says....Ruport's as sly as a FOX...Catch Ruport's comments?
