reimpact of office 2000
Remember the "non event" to be of Windows 98 and how (with Dept of Injustice help) it became a HUGE event????
Well office 2000 is a HUGE event before it begins....IMO it will be more and more huge and absolutely blowout any earnings period MSFT has ever had.
Thats why I suggested it will double for at least the next two years for its shareholders.

I waited a long time to buy it because everyone kept telling me it was overvalued. I finally just bought it because I like the company, and as a computer amateur was thrilled by windows 95: indeed before windows 95 I could not use computers just didnt understand how!!!!!
It has doubled for me in the year I have owned it and thats amazing for a company this dominant and this large. I really believe it should be at least a small part of every investor's portfolio. My 403B has to be in mutual funds and I have recently switched some money and am putting all new money into Janus 20 because MSFT is a large part of their holdings. (And I like that they have a lot of AOL and DELL too of course.)

i agree that msft is still a strong buy
in spite of the high p/e
it is not high by net standards
and, as soon as the trial is over
msft will go shopping for net companies
and strong net partnerships

few people realize how the majority of net stocks
are small caps and msft could buy a dozen of them
and not even burp, and they are the only company who could
buy a large number of the large cap net companies
without even straining their balance sheet

long msft
