How many billion is Microsoft worth now-a-days?

Microsoft spots developing companies with good ideas that have
already done the hard work and buys them. The old CEO
becomes a MS manager and together they shoot for the sky.

Product development and innovation cost money and are risky.

One idea might make you a million this year,
but what is going to be your new idea next year?

If other people come up with 20 great ideas a year that are
tested and working.... Why not just jump on the bandwagon?

Personally I spend more time trying new things, however these
new things always consist of a huge amount of other peoples
discoveries. Without other people making mistakes and success
how would I know what risk I'm taking on a new project?

btw Brad.... Still think of the password trader wars you had on
ynot whenever your name comes up. Argued with 14 year olds
for how many months? :-)
