 MCRSR1 join:2004-07-01 Columbia, SC | Get Real Folks I can't believe anyone here truly think that MS or any other corporate entity would purchase another, just to destroy themselves. MS like any other company, makes such acquisitions for the purpose of growing their business and making money. While some may go on the offensive here, those who own and or follow MS stock are jumping for joy. Im sure that if you owned a company, you wouldn't mind it so much if you were to gain a windfall by some other company buying yours. Im not defending MS decision, but just stating a fact of business life. Money talks and BS walks. Look for the positive in this purchase instead of anticipating negatives. |
