  1. I think it is easier to grow at 42% when you have revenues of $234M vs. revenue of $39B.

  2. That's quite a typical answer. Don't you think this means that M$ has a dominant position on the market and as such, the only growth it can obtain is the growth of computer users, while the others are taking M$ market share ?

  3. LOL. You must work for $soft.

    The problem they face is their size: they have become ineffective at managing their gargantuan enterprise. The people they are attracting for employees these days are either people that actually want to work with Steve Ballmer or people that are about steve ballmers age that last started an entrpreneurial organization 20 years ago ......

    Again, in the technology business people want compensation to work 24 hours a day, not just a paycheck.

    I dont think $soft understands this point and like I said, its a big problem for them .....

    This looks to me like IBM all over again ...

  4. No, I don't work for nor have I ever worked for Microsoft. But, if I remember correctly you said you did. And it makes sense - you sound like a disgruntled ex-employee.

    You are delusional if you thing Microsoft is dying. As someone else said earlier, let's meet back here in five years and see where everything stands.

    Then again you probably will not have an internet connection in five years as you will have lost what little money you have by then.

  6. "If the KFTC enters an order requiring Microsoft to remove code or redesign Windows uniquely for the Korean market, it might be necessary to withdraw Windows from the Korean market or delay offering new versions in Korea," Microsoft said in a U.S. regulatory filing on Thursday.


    First we had Ballmer threatening existing customers after raising prices, and now we apparently have him threatening an ENTIRE country. LOL.

    You've gotta love this guy ... well .. if you are in marketing.

    Customers really dont flock to Bullies and this just generates more ill will and customer defections.....

  7. And when do you expect these defections to be reflected in declining quarterly earnings?
