The pressure is off on the options issue but the moment of truth will be tested at 102, if msft bounces off that, no problem, if it goes lower through that resistance point there will be a problem. MSFT stock movement is not acting like the MSFT of old. When I first began investing in MSFT I realized it had the lock to go up as long as it's O/S was not challenged. CNBC advertises Linux products more than MSFT. One analyst mentioned why would a company pay $50,000 for 100 computers to MSFT when they could cut cost by using Linux. Companies are always looking for ways to cut cost. Seems like every time a company switches to Linux there is a news release mentioning it. I'm just saying to investors, keep a sharp eye on the Linux issue. That could become a big problem.<< James you have stated my concerns precisely. Now we have to see what happens since the expiration of contracts is over. I too felt that Microsoft was not behaving like the old Microsoft and yes every figgin time another company uses Linux it seems to be all over the media. Microsoft has enough problems with the DOJ and Linux without making those stupid cautionary comments after an earnings report.Shareholders don't find consolation in seeing their stock drop while the Nasdaq and other tech stocks are soaring to new highs. At some point in time I might just get fed up with all this bullshit and start repositioning money where there is less crap from the DOJ and are not being hammerd by the Analysts or MO MO BOYS. Frank
