Things have turned around at Microsoft. Windows 7 is a hit, I've been using it for a few months and the productive increase justifies an upgrade. The Xbox 360 is the best value gaming console on the market. The new Zune and Zune marketplace are… More

Microsoft may not be the juggernaut it used to be, but it's still a very valuable company. Windows 7, so far, looks to be much more successful than the debacle that was Vista. There are still no real competitors in the operating system market, where Microsoft's market share is still around 90%.

Microsoft has already seen a big runup in anticipation of Windows 7, but both its current and forward P/Es are still well below its historical average. I try not to place too much emphasis on charts, but they look right for a continued move upward.

New windows OS will bring in huge $$$. Sunset time for XP and probably Vista, you will have to upgrade (remember Microsoft is not a monopoly, you just don't have any other viable options -- ;)
