In Response To: Re: When Soap Gets In Your Eyes (El Bastard)

: Sorry Meg, but I gotta raise the BS flag on that one.

: Just read that Louis beat me to it, but still. Even when the GUI lawsuit was
: settled out of court and MS only paid $300 Million, and even when they had
: stock, it was non-controlling, non-voting and in fact, quite common stock.
: ;)

: Apple's current ~$5 Billion in cash is largely from a wise investment in
: Akamai.

I'll remind you that MSFT was the main investor when Apple hit the skids (aka 1997). MSFT cannot lose Apple in the marketplace. It also cannot hold controlling interests. Its no shock it had common stock. Losing Apple in the marketplace would undermind MSFT and trigger more anti-trust action (sorry Unix guys). While Apple may now be in greener pastures, it is largely thanks to infusions from MSFT when they needed it the most (much to the chagrin of Mac fans).

While Akamai is the current infuser, let's not forget the 500 lb. gorilla looming in the background who will not allow the ship to sink. I stand by my statement. There are lies, damned lies and statistics.
