Exactly nicolas. M$ has been so concerned about Linux (rightly so!) that
they have totally disregarded FireFox, the true backdoor for open source
into the corporate world. 1.0 just threw that door wide open and M$ is
history (no, they'll never go away, but their growth curve in the
corporation has topped out, just as their stock did three years ago).  

Even though I think the Democrats are too right wing, I am a believer in the
free market and stock charts as harbingers of the future (which is why I
believe they will be taking a nose-dive shortly with the Shrub's
re-election).
