While everyone is celebrating, I'm worried by the impact of the fine/damages that now MSFT has to shell out to Bristol. Do you guys think MSFT's bottom line can take it? It could be a serious hit on MSFT's financial position. Lets take a vote: How much impact that huge fine of $1 will have on MSFT's bottom line for years into the future? Morgan

$1 means, don't loose war trying to win a battle. it's good ... teach a lesson to these me too want to fight msft attitude. ** Microsoft considers Internet stock ( probaly add $5-10) to value of msft as a whole. The Wall Street Journal today reported that Microsoft (MSFT) was considering creating a stock to track the performance of its various Internet holdings. A new stock could help Microsoft capitalize on the popularity of pure Internet companies and provide it with a strong currency for further acquisitions in the online arena. Microsoft's Internet holdings include MSN.com, the Expedia travel site, the CarPoint auto service, and the HotMail e-mail service. The company also runs an Internet service provider and the WebTV service. A potential tracking stock could quickly become one of the largest dot-com stocks in terms of market capitalization and audience. Microsoft had no comment on the report.
