"The fleet of PCs is getting fairly aged; most corporate notebooks are now over four years old, desktops are over five years old, they need to refresh." http://seekingalpha.com/news/market_currents/post/31945?source=feed#comment-662305 662305
Windows 7 is fast and excellent, having used it 5 months now(RTM for a month). Going x64 on the desktop as soon as it's officially released. It's good enough to drive a proper refresh.

LOL @tweaks
I've been in the industry for 15 years and if you don't see how much better the new products are especially compared to win95 and office97, you should have been fired long ago. Actually I still can't believe you still have a job.]]>

Apple vs. Microsoft: Apple's OS Wins Hands Down http://seekingalpha.com/article/158870-apple-vs-microsoft-apple-s-os-wins-hands-down?source=feed#comment-650938 650938
Some users find ways to screw up their PC despite what you install or tell them. They just do the same dumb things over and over installing all sorts of Internet crap and then blame it on MS.
I've been using Win 7 for 4 months now and it's very fast and very nice. Enough to drive a corporate refresh(including mine going x64 on the desktop).

As for an investment AAPL is fully valued here. I said here multiple times that below 100 buy and below 90 load up the boat. Now is a great time to unload. MSFT's stock is far too boring to buy here.]]>

None of that information is useful as you only trade what you see, not what you think. It's really easy to spot the pros from the amatuers. The amatuers have opinions.]]>

John Dvorak thinks CADD (Corporate Attention Deficit Disorder) may mark Microsoft (MSFT -8.3%) as a company finally on the decline, with too little focus on its core competency of software. "What's shocking is that the cash cows, specifically the Windows operating system and the Office suite, have managed to finance all these idiotic efforts for so many years." http://seekingalpha.com/news/market_currents/post/28853?source=feed#comment-604452 604452

There's some good evidence of a pullback and general market rollover and POT is no exception but I've seen too many bears get their faces ripped off on good setups lately. The longer term trend is up until it's not.

I hope you are not wrong in this trade.]]>

This 'Why on earth are all MSFT "mistakes" always to the company benefit?' just tells it all.

Lots of opinion, no facts - just like the authors other articles.
Sorry GOOG stock has been going down lately. Eventually the one trick pony will get it's wings clipped. Don't worry, GOOG will be the far and ahead search leader for many years to come.

I switched to Bing a few weeks ago too, so far so good.]]>
