No, I'm actually long, thanks to my wife who pleaded with me for years to buy it despite my completely personal animus towards the company. I wish I had listened to her earlier (most men do better when they listen to their wives, they just don't admit it). I have an interest in Microsoft because of my experience in the computer industry and academia. I also have vicarious experience in law and politics, i.e., I know some lawyers and politicians. So the Microsoft case appealed to several of my main interests at once. Plus, I lived in Seattle until recently, so it was an intense topic of discussion there.
