    Should we be concerned


    I read this today and the thing about it that concerns me is the point regarding the relationship between Microsoft and Dell I am of course thinking of the use of the ISO we put on sticks.

    "The PC market is collapsing, Microsoft is trying to save it..."

    If they really were trying to save it, how do they account for Win 8?

    If I remember correctly the U.S.A. is the only country you can have a leverage buy out. Because of that it make companies in the U.S.A. think short term. Think back a lot of years about GoodYear Tire and Rubber Co. If Mr. Dell is on the ball like he use to be I think Dell will grow.

    So do we break out the pitchforks, or just sit back and have another cup of tea?

    So running the danger of sounding boring will this take over if it goes ahead does anyone think Microsoft will deny that privilege of making the ISO's.

    If so then I had better start making a couple of ISO sticks up.

    I am not real interested in who gets what in fact I find the whole corporate setup as interesting as watching paint dry.

    MS's stake in it is less than 20 %...always has been...
    Public or Privete this would not give them enough clout to change anything drastically or force Dell to do something it does not want to do...
