Thanks Chuzzlewit. My point wasn't so much as to take a side in the MSFT vs. Justice Dept. issue, but simply to state that with MSFT being such a bellweather in this market, any bad news for them is bad news for everyone. You are correct in that the market isn't reading it that way and this is good for all of us CTXS shareholders. But for what it's worth, I don't think MSFT is doing anything to anyone else that Ford isn't doing to GM, Merck to Pfizer, or Dell to Compaq. I have a very hard time swallowing the word monopoly being used to describe MSFT when I know I use only one product of theirs and there is an alternative to that product, namely Windows. I concur with your thoughts there there could be some value in the breakup of MSFT to its shareholders.
