You may assume no such thing.
I agree with what you said.
From the conventional business perspective accounting, finance etc.
it's not worth much.

The other day, I saw an interview with Bill Gates on the MS affiliate channel. He talked a lot about how reputation over the internet is very important.

For me it's very simple. Given the way they handled Fox, they are going to have a hell of a time getting me to commit to any of their platforms in the future.

Yes Mr Gates, as your friend Warren Buffett is teaching you it is simple and reputation is very important.

To me, Microsoft is mud.
