[dba-Tech] Microsoft

Hi Hans:

That is quite probably true but with deep pockets comes options and they are

all. Just double-down and roll that dice again...with enough money the odds
are in their favour...they have to hit it right, eventually.

This feels more like a sign of desperation rather than a sound business
investment.
