Yeah, and others, like you, Jason, just can't be intellectually honest. Microsoft posts record profits, but investors don't like something, well by golly they're wrong! Apple posts record profits, and boy do you spin it left right and center.

wIndeed, if anything the fact that there are deep rumblings among shareholders should prompt any savvy commentator to ask serious questions as to why, not to dismiss them as though they do not know what they are talking about.

Fact is Microsoft grew to their heady heights through duplicity. They tucked up the Intergalactic Digital Research company (who dropped the ball) like a good'un which got them into the OS market. Later they stitched up IBM (again who were incredibly inept), Apple, Lotus and best of all Paul Allen. At one time or another Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer have seen - and seized - an opportunity to do the dirty on all of them.

So fast-forward and Microsoft have been cornered. They are still trying to rip everybody else off but most (not Nokia it seems) are wise to them and have things locked down fairly tight these days. They do not trust a word that comes from Gates' or Ballmer's mouths.

Investors know that Nokia are a vampire's feast and they are cool with that, after all, who gives a shit about Nokia once they've had their life-force sucked dry right?

However this predictable behaviour has bitten everybody now and market values are going nowhere with very little direction save for Microsoft buying outside companies for their fresh ideas (Kinect).

Fast movers with great ideas will always win over lumbering giants.
