style='font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Microsoft
has too much of the talented labor pool to mess things up in my opinion, and
leadership that’s cocky, but successful. <span style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> One beef I have though is the fact that Microsoft charges
triple for its retail products vs. OEM products (Office 2000 was $250 with a
new computer vs. $600 off the shelf or thereabouts).<span style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> But I hope they stick around, I don’t want to relearn Lotus
or WordPerfect again. I remember
Sun was giving away their Office Suite at one time…Maybe I’ll have to install
that now? <span

grave and is just building the coffin for itself. Its only a matter of
time.Microsoft will be broken up. No amount of political lobbying is going to
help Microsoft this time round, i.e. if the politicians want to have the people
on their side. Eventually the free market and peoples power will prevail.<font
