Seen that page 3 hours ago (it was modified, so it came up in the feed). The
observation to make is that, while the world is adopting more and more
computers/ing and there's inflation too, Microsoft's profits seem to have
remained the merely the same (even worse previously, due to increases
spendings). And the value of the stock would have dropped below $20 had
Microsoft not bought it to get the figures artificially elevated. Microsoft
will meet the destiny of SCO, but it will take quite a few years for old
technology to 'phase out' completely.
Best wishes,
Roy
