I think there is something we should think about.
We all want and hope for MS to fall, but besides the results in the OS
market, I think we need to consider another things that will accour.
Normally, when a company fall, the effects are mostly only on it's
workers and nothing else. Microsoft, however, is an exception.
Its a large company. a VERY large company. It has thousends
(excuse the spelling mistakes) of programmers, salesman, advertisers,
and the rest of the titles. If most these people will suddenly find
themselves out of jobs.. out-of-this-world unemployment.
I think you can start to get the picture.
Ofcourse, MS falling down is actually because of MS's fault for
making bad products. Nobody but the company is there to blaim. However,
when we talk about MS going down, I think we should also consider
these little extra details in the background...
BTW, did you knew that over 80% of Bill Gates's fortune today
is based on MS shares? If the company will go down... oucha.
