the big question: how low will msft stock go and at what point do we buy with both fists?

assume government wins something:
msft has been shown to be a monopoly and engaging in illegal trade practices
assume msft wins something:
"so what, fine us, we cannot be broken up easily"
(although a spin off could make us more valuable they think--LU?)

gov. deals msft some punishment for their browser/OS which they can easily overcome
(they are now telling gov aol/linux is huge threat)
msft writes a check for a billion dollars mol, public say "wow"
gov. wins, for msft it is chump change (bill will buy victory)

final result: msft goes on a binge partnering with hundreds of new companies in the net space, they come up with competition for linux, they partner with lots of new net companies and we are back to the races

the big question: how low will msft stock go and at what point do we buy with both fists?
