funny thing about the press - if your Microsft and you tell them that you will have Windows NT 5.0 out in 1997 (a 32 bit bloated hairball when it comes out in time for Y2K) there not skeptical. if your intel and tell them that you will have a 64 bit chip called Merced out in 1997 that will surpass the performance of RISC chips and then release Merced in (2001/2002?) and admit its chief benefit will be x86 (yes thats right as in 8086) compatibility, not performance - there not skeptical. makes you wonder if a healthy dose of skepticism isnt better for Sun/netscape.

Don't hassle Dale about his biggest talent: picking out 100% content-free anti-Sun articles. His secret is that he doesn't read them before he posts them. Don't spoil that for him :-). By the way, to be completely honest, the concern brought up in that article is valid IMHO. Look back throughout the last decade in the industry at attempted "alliances" and "consortia" and "partnerships" among and between computer companies. To say that it's hard to get them to work is an understatement. Name two that have. There are always differences in cultures and product release processes, engineering NIH, arrogant executives who have figured out that their Mercedes is evidence of their infallibility, and etc. etc. In other words, a whole new list of problems tacked on to the already long list that screws up corporations even prior to any attempted "partnerships". An analyst who questions on general principles whether an artificially grafted combination like this can create a profitable business in a finite amount of time, ain't just whistlin' Dixie.

Marvin, Normally I would totally ignore you, but your thinking is so immature that I had to respond. Just because a company's stock price goes up, that doesn't mean it's a good buy. In realm of economics lower price usually stimulates demand, but in the stock market higher price stimulates demand. Why is this so? Because in the stock market investors are often too lazy to look at company fundamentals and follow industry trends. It is easier to just jump on the bandwagon. But the bandwagon investment style has a flaw. In time, you will discover what that flaw is. Have a nice day! Dale
