Gary there are so many "What ifs" that I do not plan to hold much if any going into the IPO. If PALM is 50 the day 80% hits the mkt where do you suppose it will close? Looks like it MAY have a bit to go yet but todays action indicates that may not be true also... I just want coms to range until January--- too many st gains now,,,

<<I doubt it would happen but if you were Microsoft and IF (big if) you were concerned about PALM OS getting more traction wouldn't this be a good move? And wouldn't it make sense to announce it the day before or day of or even week of the PALM IPO? Just thinking out loud.>> ONLY if they have settled with DOJ by then. If not, it would be a stupid move.

LOL Gary, Sir William can do absolutely nothing and I emphatically say nothing, except relieve a lot of hot air, with regard to hindering the growth of the PalmOS. Already the largest cell phone manufacturer, Nokia, the largest consumer electronics manufacturer, Sony and some of the most prominent names around the globe, such as IBM,NTT DeCoMo (the 2nd. largest cap. in the Nikkei), QCOM, SUNW, ORCL, AOL ..., have accepted the PalmOS platform for their next generation of products. In recent weeks, MSFT's own allies have begun to defect, just to name a few, Phillips, Sharp, Everex and now CPQ is considering the same. Doesn't this manifest what is really happening. MSFT has lost!!!!! and all your hyperbole in this matter will only draw lots of laughs. Merry Xmas, I have enjoyed our repartees. I sincerely wish you a lot of luck in what ever you do, except at my expense. ;)
