Gerald, Bloomberg reported a news flash yesterday that the DOJ had announced that it did not agree with an earlier newspaper article stating that their position was to break up MSFT. That was my source. And, to quote one of your links, "USA Today reported earlier on Wednesday that the government favored a breakup of the company, giving specifics of the way the company would be restructured. A Justice Department spokeswoman said the USA Today report was inaccurate, without elaborating. "The story is inaccurate in several important respects," the spokeswoman said. "It does not accurately represent our views." There's a leak saying DOJ wants the breakup and a public statement to the contrary. Which, I suppose, means that we can't be sure of anything. Bill Gates stepped aside today to make room for Steve Balmer. IMHO, this was an excellent move because it takes Big Bill out of the target seat and sets up MSFT to weather was may come in the future. Maybe a breakup is going to happen Maybe MSFT even wants it to happen .. but to happen THEIR way. However it plays out, this is one interesting story! Craig
