Curiously, a number of predictions favorable to Microsoft were inexplicably
omitted from the cites. For example:
"7) The Sony news is SO bad that it deserves two predictions. I would
predict the fall of CEO Howard Stringer again if there were clearly somebody
at Sony who wants his job. The business is in such difficulty that Microsoft
is discussing internally how to help Sony from going under, since that would
create a raft of antitrust problems for Redmond. I am not making this up."
I guess there aren't enough Linux users for the PS3 to save it.
