Captain Jack: right on. All MSFT's arrogance has done has wasted resources and MAJOR shareholder value. Their settlement proposal will be summarily rejected. It includes a unified windows price list for all customers and making "some" publication of API's available. Big deal, we as shareholders will have to suffer as the MSFT egos cause us to continue to suffer through miserable stock performance over the last year just to satisfy their arrogance. By all counts this is a lousy company and I have requested two trusts I am a beneficiary in to liquidate this boat anchor as they continue to "obvuscate" their way (and our stock holdings) into "obscurity". It appears so simple from a management standpoint. Settle this thing for shareholder value (all indications are that they will receive at least a 20% pop) and go on. MSFT could open up their source code and increase their profits but their arrogance won't let them. They could break up the company and stockholders would be rewarded. But at this point this is not about shareholder value, it's about arrogance. What will happen? Here is my prediction.... The MSFT proposal will be rejected early next week. The Judge will come down like a hammer on MSFT, the stock will tank and/or flutter around like it has for the last year. Then numerous law suits will drain additional resources from MSFT's coiffers. Time to get out of this puppy. Regards, M. Voorhees
