IBM's GNS sale may be pre-emptive considering the DOJ's move on MSFT

Though MSFT predicts victory , the 10/15/98 trial may result in MSFT being separated into 3 core businesses , OS , MSN , Applications .

IBM's Global Network Services sale eliminates any MSFT argument that owning MSN , a world-wide ISP network like GNS is critical , using IBM as a example .

What we do know is that IBM has stated its intent to reclaim the PC market .

FWIW my DOS speculation centavos leans toward IBM's ultimate use of the $5 bln GNS sale to be used in the PC area .
