While I agree with your sentiment, I'm afraid the collapse of the settlement talks means that msft will be entangled in individual law suits for years, and will lose its competitive edge. Principles are fine in patriotic endeavors, but they can lose a lot of money in the marketplace. I wish msft would have offered up something that was palatable to doj, even if they did not think it right. Like splitting the company, which would have made huge gains for everyone, including msft. After all, it is a heck of a lot easier to grow as two or three 100+ B companies than to grow the largest (now 2nd largest) company, a half-trillion dollar one. Oh well, closing out my calls Monday.
