Elmer and all, Per Andrew Roskill of Warburg Dillon Read who reiterated their 6-12 mo target on MSFT of 110, RT 90 7/16: "We see it this way - there are only two possibilities in this case. Either (1.) Microsoft settles the case before the judge's February ruling, or (2.) They appeal after the ruling, the case drags on for at least two years, and the entire case becomes moot." My guess? Appeal and moot. FWIW Barry

Elmer - Re: "Was it simple naivete that kept Bill from buying his own politicians when he had the chance?" I believe Gates's family have been long time Republicans - and assume Bill Gates is also. Ergo, Gates's party is "out of office" - at least as regards the executive branch - which includes Clinton, Reno and the DOIJ (Department of InJustice). Further, Microsoft nearly killed Novell - a UTAH company - and Orin Hatch, an influential REPUBLICAN from UTAH, went to bat (Surprise !) for Novell ! In so doing, he used whatever influence he had at the DOJ to work against Microsoft. I think Microsoft is learning the "political thing" a little late. Paul
