Ditto. It's another bad move from MSFT. If you watch CNN, they already said that if the next president is the Republican, i.e., George W Bush, the republican party point of view is softer in this Anti-Trust case than the democratic party. So MSFT lost that edge as well. Just like the disagreement in the settlement stage, Chairman Gates is clearly letting his emotion and his style of "blow some steam" driving the company stock further & faster down to drain. MSFT down to $85.xx today. By the way "nuking" is a very good term, that's exactly what Jackson is doing. Even worse, we all know all the facts of the entire case, we all know what cards Chairman Gates has. This is NOT like two F-15 dog-fighting in which one pilot has no way of knowing what "tactics" the other has. All the rules are tabulated in law, all the facts are well known, you only have so many cards left. So this case is looking really bad with no +ve news coming out from MSFT.
