Short on MSFT, Long on SUNW, ORCL (Score 1)

Yes, Microsoft (MSFT on Nasdaq) has provided a wonderful opportunity for folks that enjoy taking a short position in a stock doomed to fall. You guys that are watching your Linux stocks ANDN, RHAT, LNUX etc trail off in value, might be better advised to take your money and short MSFT. I grumble that I personally missed the $15/share drop opportunity... I'd been joking about shorting MSFT for over a year... but nonetheless, I bought into SUNW and ORCL last year before the 100%+ gains... well probably just the next biggest fish in the pond, but they both show some friendliness to the open source ideal without embodying it fully, and also have been and continue to be in a good position to gain from MSFT loss. I think there may still be some people mistaken that MSFT stock has value, so it may stay artificially high for a couple years yet, and meanwhile you get about 90 days to cover a short position... For the novice, short means you start by SELLing at the current price, and hope to buy within 90 days after a price drop to 'cover your position'. Folks that have the guts to do this might have made a lot of money shorting MSFT on Monday. I'd love to hear from anyone that did it....
