Tony, Re: ML on MSFT

This was issued on 2/8 and followed up by a big tour of the media expressing doubts about the investment case for MSFT.

"Over the long-term, however, we don't find
MSFT's potential upside particularly
compelling at this price."

"Our analysis suggests that dependence on
Desktop will make sustainable EPS growth of
faster than 10%/year very difficult, even if
Consumer and Enterprise are successful
(consensus is for 15%-17% growth)."

"The stock trades at 32X CY02E EPS of
$2.03 (+ 9%), over a 3X PEG, which seems expensive
relative to the PEG valuations of other mature market
leaders (these typically trade around 2 PEG—although we
remember the days when 1 PEG was the norm). We
believe a multiple of 25X-30X would be more sustainable."

(You should keep in mind that this analyst had a $175 price target on INSP at this time last year.)
