Is Online Search Microsoft's Vietnam War?

Just to be clear, Vietnam is a country, not a failure. The *Vietnam War* was a failure for the United States. So, a more appropriate title for your article would be "Is Online Search Microsoft's Vietnam War?". Or, "Is Online Search Microsoft's Iraq War?". Or, "Is Online Search Microsoft's George W. Bush?".

GE, Microsoft on New Low List

The biggest problem with MSFT is that there really isn't anything that they do that somebody else doesn't do better. Whether that's office software (MS Office versus Google Docs, Star Office, OpenOffice.org, NeoOffice, standards based products, XBox versus PlayStation, Wii, etc, WinCE versus iPhone, Google Android). There are a lot of competent players eating their lunch. Good luck with your MSFT investment. You're going to need luck. The rest of the world is getting tired of being ripped off by their monopolistic business practices. Their Office revenue is not growing! Everything else they do has better alternatives.
