Dear Mr. Bowers:

Don't sweat the small stuff, and tell Bill to relax. These temps deserve a little break. It will only add to our army when we storm the BASTILLE!

James Bowers: Nice post!The future temporary workers who won't be hired will be the losers. This kind of work could be done in India over the net I would think. And as Abbigail points out the discount is not a big deal and this group of whiners will have to share it with the lawyers who are probably the only ones who will be able to afford the investment. Not a big deal. The market shrugged off this and the Caldera settlement. MSFT said they would take a .03 charge in the March ending qrtr. to account for same. JFD

- So the temps can sue, big deal. Doesn't mean they'll win anything.

Off topic -- temporary workers...

Correct me if I'm wrong: The workers freely accepted the terms of their employment. An agreement existed.

PSQ. If a company's stock price deteriorates sufficiently, can the temporary workers be forced to buy shares, at the previously higher price, retroactively? By this decision, one would think so.

Cheers, PW.
