Hey, Mark, watch that shareholder (and former Microsoft employee) getting all
sweaty. Maybe it's time to return him to that sack (killfile). This way I
won't hear him yelling again...
Also notice that he only ever squeaks when people talk about money and
stocks. Greedy man with a particular money-driven mission down in c.o.l.a...
Granted, he's lucky that Microsoft has been pumping money into the stock to
artificially stabilise its worth. Only in America (and selectively
elsewhere) can this game of gambling and pretence endure. For what it's
worth, my family had investments too and it can attest to how corrupt and
ridiculous the market is. At the moment, even Windows zombies are used to
manipulate the market.
People step down when they lose interest in what they do. Sherlund has
clearly reached that stage, having watched Microsoft abusing a market for 2
decades only to find itself hitting a wall around 2005. Windows is dead.
Office is dead. Without these cash cows (lockins), the company that has
earned its notoriety from everyone hasn't a chance in other market. It
already fails everywhere else while it continues its monopoly abuse as it
elevates licence costs.
Expect more antitrust lawsuits. Plenty of them! Expect Microsoft to be
hugging that shipwreck called Vista while all the other kids are poking fun
at it and take its money through the courtrooms. Expect the company to be
all about lawyers and FUD. The bully now has a new glassy-eyes boy called
Novell. It will do some of its homework.
Best wishes,
Roy
