>Well I'll just have to disagree with you on that point.

Yes, you would have to, as the very foundation of your point rests upon these unprovable assertions. :-)


>OK... but I did not imply that in the long term, something could stay flat. Sorry if you got that impression.

Doesn't matter. My impression of that part of the comment was irrelevent to the point that I ultimately made.


>Meaningless of course because it would not yield results favorable to your argument.

It is meaningless because it is non sequitur. Again, MSFT is not managed as a democracy. Further, the makeup of the respondents of such a poll would not be representative of the target market.
