with regard to a settlement, i don't think it will happen if a spin-off of the net properties is in the works. should msft decide to do the spin-off, this will set the net properties free w/out DOJ intervention. if this happens msft will be left to fight the DOJ on their terms and shareholders will be able to realize the added value from the spin-off. at this point i think it has become more apparent then ever w/ the recent sun and bristol rulings that msft is holding a much stronger hand than the DOJ. most legal experts believe that msft will lose this round but i don't think even that is a given anymore. i don't see how jackson can ignore the 2 most recents rulings that have gone in msft's favor. imo, if we don't see a settlement, that tell me the spin-off may be coming. if they do settle, gates may prefer to keep the entire compnay intact and the net properties would stay w/ msft. either way, msft is a winner. remember folks, it's never too late to buy msft!!
