Agreed.  I hope the deal goes through, because I don't think that it will
help Microsoft.  It will be a shame to see the loss of diversity, but that
is the price we all pay for Microsoft's monopoly.

"Many analysts today expressed doubts about the deal. "Our initial view of
the proposed transaction is cautious," writes Bear Stearns equities analyst
John DiFucci in a research note Friday. "We believe that a large acquisition
of this size is fraught with risks broadly defined as potential integration
issues with employees, cultures, and customers."
