    Bing may takeover Google internet site in China gaining 30% of the market share for Google has boxed itself in to a no win situation. MSFT has tremendous cash flow with strong PC sales this year, is now #1 in with XBOX, has Bing which is gaining on Google, has huge budget set aside for research and development, new cell phone, so many applications, the list goes on. MSFT to 40 a share easily.

    I would add that msft is well entrenched in the server space (IS) with windows server, exchange, etc, and little by little making gains with sql. this business is hugely scalable and profitable. let’s also mention that the new windows mobile 7 is going to rock and it will be the main, real competition for iphone. one big problem that persists which has kept this stock at anemic levels for about 10 years is their costs. Microsoft has huge overhead and until they start to really work on the % of $ they keep in their pockets then they are just pushing money around. us stock holders are only going to benefit from their dividend, which is pretty meager, even though it has grown nicely. so, if msft really becomes serious about cutting costs this stock could be worth far more than 40…but the current management doesn’t seem to *truly* be concerned with cutting costs…..
