"Who's Marc?" - No idea OK, you're right. Their total assets are only 92,389,000,000, not a trillion. In my mind I was adding to that their total impact on the IT industry, in which case trillion is vastly under-estimated.
My point was this: for the author to insinuate that because some 'Marc' guy (whom nobody seems to know who the hell he is) left a multi-billion dollar, market dominating, company is THE sign that the company was 'over' is just plain stupid, and I feel dumber for having read it. p.s. I'll allow your silly comparison between MS and the Romans to pass only to counter-act my silly estimate of MS's financial net worth.

It's not trillion, it's billion, was 60 now 30, and the dollar amount has been steadily falling. > ....give me a break... Rome fall? give me a break...
