Comments on: Microsoft eyes larger acquisitions

The software giant's CFO says a target as big as SAP is less likely, but some big buys could be in Microsoft's future.

So much for innovation.....

M$FT's steady degradation of the definition of the "i" word has finally reached its appropriate resting place -- the bottom of the barrel.

Shareholders are rightfully demanding their share of that $60 billion war chest that has successfully shielded M$FT management from the consequences of poor decision making, persistent litigation by grieved customers and competitors, and proportionate redress for their monopolistic business practices.

Now we see their final thrust to buy their way back into the hearts of an investment community that's only too aware that the go-go days of multi-digit growth are gone forever.

Deplete the spoils of this monopoly and you will hasten the day when it must finally bow to its shareholders and the consumer.

Of course, there is always that well-trodden road of creative (read illegal) accounting.

If you can't beat them....

BUY THEM!
If you can't innovate... imitate.
If you can't compete in a niche market, copy the competition &
put it out into the marketplace for FREE (i.e IE)
When the "competition" goes out of business, you say all is fair
in business.
We have the right to crush the competiton because they are
deemed "threat" (to our illegal monopoly of 95%) by those people
(5%) the "free thinkers" who DARE to "think different."

Sounds like instead of putting their money where their mouth is,
Citizen Gates is putting his "Longhorn" in the public's "back
pocket" & stuffing all the cash in his...
