    Yes I do agree. I was saving the idea to execute it by myself when I had resources. However I noticed Microsoft is in a much better position to execute this idea with much more success than I would because of their assets and exposure capacity. If I did the idea alone it would be a lot bigger than Firefox (to put an exampe) but it wouldn´t reach the level of IE. The software I have in mind is really a perfect fit for what Microsoft wants to achieve as well as has to achive it with. And it would also cost a lot less than 2.5 billion.

    Thanks for the support. I won´t give up. The idea is valuable enough to continue knocking doors. Hopefully soon, someone will open.

    lol, I agree with that! :D

    ...about the 2.5 Billion.. thats not really that much to spend considering they're in the $250+ Billion... 0_o Also, I think Balmer is going to drive Microsoft down... not a lot.. but enough... they need someone new to step in.. Google is doing good with their ad network... however, for yahoo! I think they're more in the clear than anyone else.. they seem more well-rounded as an online business and a lot of their content is cleaner...
