If a settlement were to happen I think there is high chance of it happening next week, just prior to the windows2000 launch. Wll street already knows this and I think the stock is moving up today possibly because some of that reason. Between the chance for a settlement and the jump related to windows2000 launch, I see the stock headed higher to 115-120 in the short term. I had said it will hit mid to low 90s and I was lucky to see it did get to 95 but it didn't stay there and started heading higher. I think it is anciticpation of settlement and windows2000 release. A settlement would move msft up and competitors - SUNW, AOL etc.. down.

Reasons to Own and Buy More Shares in Microsoft <<Why I still own MicroSoft.... 1- Very undervalued stock, taken down by the DOJ for over 1 year.... 2- Very profitable company, sitting on $ 39 or so billion dollars cash and investments. 3- Very nice Internet properties, comin into their own. 4- The PC is not dead, as a large majority of the world's population does not have one. And MSFT gets a nice cut from every sale 5- Linux on the desktop is a joke. A bad one. 6- DCOM/COM+ is a very sharp architecture for web commerce content delivery and programming. Corba/EJB is still very immature... 7- The "2000" series of products is making me foam at the mouth, from SQL/Server , MSMQ, Exchange 2000 and of course, Windows 2000. A brand new upgrade cycle is starting, with Y2K out of the way.... 8 - Windows 2000 consumer edition late this year, hopefully in time for Xmas... So even though, boys and girls, it has been a very bad year for Mr Softy (1999, and 2000), anybody crazy enough NOT to be owning this stock by Feb 17th is out of his/her mind ! And I also own . BTW, a ton of Sun Microsystems stock and LEAPS... One should own both, IM<< Jean Excellent post and it is one that cannot be topped Best Wishes Frank
