IBM + Corel's Word & Spread Sheet > MSFT WORD/EXEL.

IBM will embrace Corel's Word Perfect and their Spread Sheet.
These products were once owned by NOVL. They were in competition
with MSFT's desktop business products.

Now Corel has them, and has perfected them to work over the NET,
I see IBM + NOVL + LINUX +SUNW + ORCL embracing Corel's
Word & Spread sheet to go against Microsofts WORD & EXEL.
Add in QUICKEN over the NET, and you have a real power house.

Thus the demise of MSFT WORD & EXEL and the growth of NOVL.
My opinion to your worries over MSFT having small business in their palms.

HOLD ON: NOVL is soft because of OPTIONS EXPIRATION TOMARROW.

There are a TON of NOVL Call options at $17.50 that expire tomarrow
If NOVL is soft today, it is because the big guys want them to expire worthless.

Wait until late Friday or Monday morning, NOVL will be back up to $19.
So....hold on, don't let the big guys take you money.

My opinion
