[edit] Supper Hyper Global Meganet?

Just for an LOL, i thought about the Simpson's episode where Microsoft's goons 'byout' Homers home business.

I know it wont be listed, but at least its now talked about :). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Amckern (talk • contribs) 14:17, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Discrepancies

The article states that Microsoft acquired Great Plains Software on April, 2001, but according to Microsoft's own investor relations web site (http://www.microsoft.com/msft/acquisitions/history.mspx) it was on December 21, 2000. Who is right? I would change the article, but even Microsoft is wrong sometimes(though they will never admit it).

Yahoo is also listed however, this is an announced take-over it has not been approved or officiated so why is it listed? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.4.192.183 (talk) 01:11, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
