Lets see the Bozo's explain why their predictions don't seem to be playing
out in the "real world"...just in their deluded minds.

You two nitwits know nothing of the real world. Frank and you are
STILL too damn dumb to understand what SALES means in the context
used. I tried once to explain it to you two dummies. Obviously it was
too complicated for morons to grasp.

BTW, as I've said several times I'm a stockholder in Microsoft. It
would be foolish of me to wish it to fail or do poorly. As a stock
holder I have every right to be critical of dumb things Microsoft
management does, after all they work for me. Understand yet? No, of
course you don't.

BTW for anyone that cares Microsoft was up seventy four cents today
and is up another $3.35 in after market trading for a nice 10% bounce
due to much stronger than expected earnings.

Right now of the 31 analysis that track the stock 12 recommend a hold,
13 rank it a buy, 4 a strong buy with one each saying sell or strong
sell.

Well They Did Not Get A Profit From Me (Now That I Figured Out How To
Install The Linux Version Of Real Player 10.0), As Of Today I Have
Officially Returned To Open Source Linux Ubuntu 7.10, Just FYI.

They didn't?
I thought you had an MSDN Operating Systems subscription?

Discovered Just How Great Open Source Linux Ubuntu 7.10 Really Is (My

Just FYI.
