Good

I am glad it went through.

I hope that I don't regret saying this, because it is possible that Google could become evil in the future, but as it stands right now, they are the best company for DoubleClick.

If Microsoft got DoubleClick, then the end of the world would have been nigh.

When...

... will "t8" et al come up with their own "Google" to GOOGLE GOOGLE (a better Google)! "If Microsoft got (had gotten) DoubleClick, then the end of the world would have been nigh".

Benefits Consumer?

I often wonder: Is the consumer me? Is the consumer the businesses placing the ads? Personally, I dislike "double click," always have.

But For The "The Forests" (Microsoft & Google)...

... that we cannot see "The Trees" (IBM and OS/2PlEX): This article is soooooooooo..... insightful ("Microsoft in Denial: Google Threat is Classic Disruption") it is certainly worth reading, here is the link:

As to why some folks would use these products that has certain limitations is any ones guess. Why get on an "spaceship" that is only going to take you three-quarters of the distance that you have to travel. How in this universe are you going to be able to complete the rest of the journey? This is perhaps one of the reasons why those home-owners are going through the experiences that they are going through. IBM's Moon (Serenity Systems International and OS/2PLEX (OS/2's Programmers and Business Consultants) - the "Trees" will guarantee a splendid and complete (business class) journey at WARP SPEED rather than the "three-quarters way" Microsoft and Google-DoubleClick "turbulent rides". EXPERIENCE COUNTS/MATTERS. ;-) !

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

LIVE LONG AND PROSPER!

SPOCK.
