By coincidence, I posted the following in reply to Mark's post only 3 minutes
ago. For what it's worth, I'll repeat it verbatim (the context if the MSFT
share):

They were down another 1% yesterday. It's a steady slide, Mark. I can't
anticipate any event that will give a boost and reverse this decline. The
Vista release? Oh, puh-leez. So far, all we seem to hear about are delays,
system crashes, hardware incompatibilities, and other problems. The only
thing to balance this are expensive FUD campaigns. Google, IBM and the Linux
communities (maybe vendors too) are knocking really hard on that wall. And
meanwhile, Red Hat's CEO confirms that MSFT still play dirty (or put nicely,
they are extremely "aggressive"). Ballmer embodies that characteristic and
the investors and clients can see it. It's transparent.

Best wishes,

Roy
