RE:"Do you actually like Microsoft?"

I have to because I own a bunch...but my real problem is with the "liberal" trial Lawyers crashing the high tech party. So they break up Microsoft...OK...make 'em pay some fines...which go into the DOJ war chest. Then, who's next?
Intel? Csco? Whomever they think they can extract money from in the name of helping the consumer?
OK, so you don't own MSFT stock...won't hurt me...I think today changed all that line of thinking.
Lawyer intrusion is counterproductive to the tech industry...trust todays markets...

Scumbria,

Do you actually like Microsoft?

The company, or the stock?

About the company: I went from strong negative to neutral.

About the stock: positive. Unless it costs excessive amount of money to settle or fight all these cases, the stock should do well, even if the company is broken up.
