Interesting point, but I personally don't think so. They need the stock to keep appreciating because that's the employee incentive. If the stock continues to lag, there might be some morale problems among the troops in Redmond. I'm hoping for a surprise settlement announcement, which will be good for a 12-15 point pop, and a 30 point runup going into the next round of product releases. But I'm not holding my breath.

>>Do you think MSFT is secretly happy about the verdict? As hard as they work to keep the stock from getting ahead of itself, the judge just lifted the burden all by himself. Now Gates and Co. can let the good times roll and not worry about the stock getting overhyped. It wouldn't surprise me if this is the outcome they hoped for! They can finally take a break from downcasting themselves<< Bill are you putting us the f*** ON? I can't believe that you really think this? Microsoft is pissed off to no end that their stock is not trading around 130 right now. You can't believe that the Nasdaq being up almost 1000 points since February and Microsoft is 15 points lower than it was nine months ago makes the upper management at Microsoft pleased? Get real man, Jackson did not do any favors for Microsoft except give one damn headache. The verdict was a disgrace and an affront to integrity and fair play. The only monopoly here and injustice was the DOJ's case brought against Microsoft with our dollars. Frank
