"Smart investors should wise up. MSFT won the minute Justice decided not to press for a suit breaking up MSFT. This current WIn98 suit is quite limited and basically the press is jerking all of you around. " Absolutely right. Now for the killer - imagine how much money it would cost to buy the public exposure Win98 has gotten!! Every business person is breaking their neck to get a copy while it is hot and before it is yanked. Media reporters (really just ad salesmen in todays world) are pouring gas on the fire because it increases circulation. So MSFT gets a windfall (read multi-multi-million dollar windfall) of exposure at no cost. Next week this stock is going up and Win98 sales will be sky high. Exactly the opposite of what the feds wanted. Their daddy lost to big blue and now "feds - the next generation" are losing to the children of IBM.
