Business as Usual for Microsoft? Hardly | |

The sound of champagne corks popping in Redmond, Wash., is turning out to be the shot heard across the continent. Since a federal court judge signed off on the Microsoft (MSFT ) antitrust settlement on Nov. 1, its shares have surged some 7%, closing at $56.68 on Nov. 5. And the party has spread to the rest of the Street, prompting a high-tech mini-rally. Now comes the hard part. With the sword of Damocles no longer hanging over its head, the Colossus of Redmond faces a host of demanding challenges. | ||

"Microsoft will surely grow, but doing so will take more flapping from the MSN butterfly's wings than Gates & Co. has grown accustomed to."
What a great line! |

Wow, how many factual (not OPINION) errors can you count in this article?
Here's a couple... "adding the popular "Donkey Kong" line to the Xbox stable." XBox didn't get Donkey Kong. It belongs to Nintendo. I repeat, Microsoft did NOT buy Donkey Kong. "Sony expects to have a user base of 40 million consoles by the end of 2002. Microsoft may hit 4 million by that point." Actually, XBox hit 3.9 Million by the end of JUNE. They have already PASSED 4 Million sold. They are expected well over 5M consoles by year end. What ever happened to checking facts before publishing a story? I mean, I'm just a layperson... and I realize these big errors. Any reasonable editorial process should ferret out these FACT-based errors.
