"MICROSOFT WINS"!

Sources close to the abbigail press have learned of the apparent victory
by Microsoft over the government.

"We feel Microsoft has won the case and expect the stock to soar on Monday," according to sources close to the local publication's editor.

"The government goons and their 19 dwarfs have lost their case as Microsoft's refusal to knuckle under to extortion now paves the way for vindication is the market place...
The doj and rogue band of 19 wanted to steal the family jewels of which the prize is of course, Windows. Well, they have failed. This gang of thugs will now be systematically picked upart and ultimately destroyed, as the light of public opinion reveals their true nature of evil."

...gustice department had sought to force Microsoft to set
up a uniform pricing system for Windows, and would prohibit the company from tying any of its other products to Windows...New York Times
...gustice also demanded that Microsoft open its software
interfaces to allow developers to freely write applications that could run on Windows, and to open its software code to Windows in a way that would allow companies to change what screen users see when they turn on their PC...New York Times

"Yea, gustice is going to get what is deserves: true justice. We see the share price of Microsoft going straight up from here. Slowly at first as public opinion learns that the little guy can beat city hall, and then ascending very rapidly into earnings and new product announcements..."

Who knows? If investors start to believe Microsoft will lose its monopoly margins, and perhaps a significant chunk of its ill-gotten cash, the damage could be severe.

I wish I knew how much of the recent runup was due to short term players of an assumed settlement, and also how much of it was due to players buying on margin.

JMHO.
