Michael,

Microsoft is down again now that they judge has indicated that he's inclined to break it into 3 baby bills.

This may seem an odd question, but at what price would you consider Microsoft a value stock?

Both the OS and the application baby bills would have compelling near-monopoly positions in the desktop world. True, that is no longer the whole world from the average business user's perspective (as it was 10 years ago), but it still a large world and will remain so for a long time, despite the swing back to thin-client systems. And Microsoft is taking a respectable hunk of the Server/OS world, despite NT's limitations as a large-scale server OS.

So it's not going broke anytime soon. Where would you get interested in it?
