Microsoft: The Faint Smell of Rot

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Friday February 11, 2005 @11:23AM from the could-happen dept.

happycorp writes "A business reporter for ABC/Fortune is asking whether Microsoft is poised to collapse, based on years of industry observation (with successful calls in the past, he notes) rather than purely technical considerations. A short read, with this favorite quote: "if you sniff the air, you can just make out the first hints of rot.""

Sure fire way to make MS fail by DuctTape · 2005-02-11 11:38 · Score: 5, Funny

I have the sure-fire way to make Microsoft fail: I'll invest in it. My history with investments is legend: Iomega, Syquest, Alcatel, to name some.
As soon as the market opens on Monday, I'll buy a few hundred shares, and watch the tumble.
Get out while you can.
