    Microsoft Windows Live? Not Yet--And Maybe Not Ever Microsoft and its cheerleaders are all running around giving each other high-fives and throwing their hands up in the air and shouting "Hooray for us!" following the announcement of the company's Live initiative. But what, exactly, are they...

    The death of Microsoft

    And I'll add, that if I'm right, then I will have to compete with them. So not only must my wages be inline, but also my other costs. Think Google, the majority of their costs are people lately, they use Linux because they were poor students.

    The death of Microsoft

    Actually where I was going with that, but didn't state, is that with the rest of the world coming up to speed skill wise, there will be entrepreneurial activity that is not N.A. based. N.A. is a M$ strong hold. So, if are in Romania/ Poland/ India, you've got the talent and the idea, but not...

    The death of Microsoft

    Forming an LLC for Trading friends/family accounts

    I like the subaccount setup. I was concerned that you could get into an admin nightmare if everyone was a shareholder. Whenever, some one left or redeemed something, I would imagine their ownship would change and thus their pass thru taxes. I can't see ownership paper being a lot of fun to...
