CSFB reemphasizes strong buy on MSFT. NEW YORK, Oct 28 (Reuters) - Credit Suisse First Boston said on Thursday it was reemphasizing its strong buy rating on Microsoft Corp. . -- "The last time the company shipped a major OS release (Win95) on August 25, 1995, the stock achieved peak valuation about one month prior to shipment (July 17). If this pattern repeats itself, it would indicate strong stock performance between now and mid-January."

Michael, IMHO, this case has "settlement" written all over it. If the parties are close to a resolution but can't quite agree, Judge Jackson will likely apply appropriate pressure, through a stepped series of findings, conclusions, and remedies, to bring the parties together. Ultimately, assuming it is agreed between the parties that portions of MSFT have to be split off, this could bode well for the shareholders. Look what happened to T. I think that Judge Jackson will apply maximum pressure to bring the parties together, and that probably would not be a bad thing.
