guarantees it. I heard it. Over martinis. At Joe's Bar and Grill.
During one of our several visits. Where we discussed software. And

REPEAT AFTER ME :
What's good for Microsoft, is good for the PC.
What's good for Microsoft, is good for the PC.
What's good for Microsoft, is good for the PC.
What's good for Microsoft, is good for PC Magazine.
Very good. Have another martini. Microsoft. PC. Magazine.
BTW Joe, Brilliant vision.
