(Steve Ballmer should, too.... pursuing Yahoo! is a pretty good hint that his master plan for the Web is.... like Gates's was.... to try to buy Microsoft's way into the game.) There are many smart and talented people inside Microsoft who know what to do. (Blow up Vista and abandon its next iteration, Windows 7, and start from scratch, is but one excellent idea). That will probably work. And if not? Maybe we'll see Gates return, a Nobel in his pocket, ready to wrestle with the Web once again. Glink: www.time.com	SurferJoe46 (51)

Whether the deal actually worked or not was a secondary consideration AFAIK. In IT, it's all in who you employ. The big company's executives seem to have seats on a lazy susan.	Thebananamonkey (7741)
