< Barnes & Noble.com IPOed today,, sick compared to the past.>

BNBN was a pretty large IPO I believe, like 20%. A smaller initial float may help.

< i suggest they will keep 50.5% and grab the cash >

Do you think CPQ will want control (over 50%)? May be better for Alta Vista in dealing with others that CPQ not have control. Regarding cash, do they really need the cash and would they want to disappoint current CPQ shareholders by not spinning off some shares?
