"Jury Urged To Hit Microsoft With Damages By Matthew Lewis BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (Reuters) - A lawyer for a small Connecticut software firm Tuesday urged a federal jury to find Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq:MSFT - news)guilty of anti-competitive behavior and award massive damages against the software giant. Danbury, Conn.-based Bristol Technology Inc. seeks up to $263 million in damages in an antitrust trial." --- This one certainly seems like the most frivolous of the various lawsuits to me. If a competitor of theirs was willing to accept the exact same deal that Bristol rejected, how can that be a violation of the antitrust laws? Sour grapes do not a antitrust violation make (I hope). - Eric

MSFT down to 92.5 after hours . Will MSFT go down even more Wednesday ? Will this help us when MSFT blows out estimates to avoid a sell off and move the stock to new highs?

<<Intel is going to screw all the techs tomorrow>> that's why I LOVE the stock market. Some moronic reason like this, and a good company like MSFT sees the stock go down. Great, I'll buy it! Morgan

[Intel is going to screw all the techs tomorrow.] Maybe, but anyone who sells on this news shouldn't be in techs anyway. Aside from the 2 cent earning miss, it's good news. They were upbeat about the rest of year. They say Pentium III is "on track to be our fastest ramping processor ever." They say they are winning market share in the low end with Celeron, which was their goal. They continue to buy back their own stock, 25M shares in the quarter. They increased the dividend from .02 to .03 during the quarter. Don't be surprised if INTC is higher a week from now than it is now.

Frank: Look at the bright side - INTC market share increased and GM's improved all new products on track and all this in the midst of a price war. Guidance for second half was very bullish. Notwithstanding the foregoing it is the cpu unit sales that are important and that total must include all vendors. I think that this should have very little bearing on what MSFT will report (they have already said they are very comfortable with est.) and I would suspect that if either stock were down it would represent a great buying opportunity. By the way INTC ranging from 63-67 in after hours. Wouldn't be surprised if INTC is up tomorrow. JFD
