U.S. President-Elect Bush May Halt Microsoft Split, Paper Says
By Dex McLuskey

Redmond, Washington, Dec. 16 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. President- elect George W. Bush may remove the threat to break up Microsoft Corp., the world's biggest software company, Sunday Business reported, citing Republican Party corporate adviser Kevin Hassett.

The incoming administration might accept a settlement to the U.S. Justice Department's antitrust case against Microsoft that falls short of President Bill Clinton's preferred remedy of a breakup, the paper said.

``Nobody in (Bush's) administration thinks the case is a good idea,'' Hassett said, according to Sunday Business.

Microsoft is appealing a breakup order issued this year by a federal judge who ruled that the company illegally defended its Windows monopoly for operating software. The case is to return to an appeals court in February.

BTW..when you have a chance, pull up a trading log for MSFT and you will see some pretty big players positioning themselves in this stock. I will be very surprised to see it break 48.
