You're right. I believe the probability favors a settlement. They can't be hoping for good finings of fact. it's not coming. so, get on with it already. Justice wants you to split apart. You were rumored to be thinking of a tracking stock anyway. Let's get on with this already. You're wasting time and time is money.

amen. typical government worker fashion, while business and the internet are moving at the speed of light, and Sunw and AOL are climbing to new heights, the government boys have put the kabosh on the greatest money making company ever devised by mankind because they are choking in their own damn paperwork. If the judge could only be a mensch, he can just get this thing over with one way or the other. If you going to punish then do it expeditiously. Microsoft is the largest component of every major index now. You have to free the bottleneck one way or the other.

I don't think the case is what's holding it back. It's the software. And it's the attitude. JMHO.

It is unfortunate that you feel the way you do. Rather than put yourself through this misery and put up with the stupidity of the people in Redmond would it not be better for you to sell? If you place the funds into ORCL and SUNW would you not sleep better? Or perhaps you have forgotten ORCL and SUNW both spending rather extended periods of time in trading ranges prior to their moves over the last year? Perhaps if you looked closely at MSFT charts you would understand that it makes its major moves in spurts then takes breaks in trading ranges. Perhaps you don't realize MSFT is about to embark on a period of increasing earnings growth as we move into Y2K that should last for two to three years? Regardless of what you think, MSFT has is and will continue to take care of its shareholders. Your statement "Besides the billions these guys have at stake what about the poor shareholder and his return on the stock this year?" sounds like a spoiled kid. When did you buy MSFT? within the past six months or something. Where were you in OCT '98? And if you did buy back then what are you whining about? IMHO
