<<And while that wrangling is going on, smart MSFT employees will be heading for the exits>> Umm. Where will they go? Most of these high fliers that would be attracting top software talent have seen their stocks crushed FAR worse than MSFT. So they can't play the stock option game. And many of these competitors can't afford to offer big salaries. Meanwhile MSFT has tons and tons of cash. So your premise doesn't hold much water. MIKE

Shot Own Foot RE: "Let them say they have a "strong" case all they like.. they saw a bug on their foot and so they shot at it, missed and shot themselves in the foot. Now the bug is making its way up their leg and they keep firing away, hitting themselves again and again. The bug is headed for their face and they are reloading -- I don't call that smart." Well put. Hal PS: As the venerable Don Corleone would have said: "This is not good for business."
