Say what you like about Microsoft, they may want to take over the world, but the do sell good products that is why we are using them. But Microsoft taking over Navision will make it easier to sell the product. Ask you marketing department what respose they get when trying to sell navision (is usally what/who in the UK). Microsoft will not destroy the NCR network as that is what makes Navision what it is. But I may be a worried if I was working for a US NCR as it will be pitched as a European product. Microsoft may try and sell plain vanilla Navision through other channels but that should not be too bad as it gives Navision a larger userbase. Paul Baxter
