My opinion: it's the lawsuit factor. The market's already discounting the worst the government will do to MSFT during the remedy phase. Probably not a break-up (if it does turn out to be a break-up, then look out below). But the towering unknown now is the class-action flak, which calls earnings forecasts into question. Remember, most of us have very little faith in the legal system to produce a just outcome here, and zero belief in a political fix.

WASHINGTON, Apr 10, 2000 (AP Online via COMTEX) -- Texas Gov. George W. Bush has pulled slightly ahead of Vice President Al Gore in a new poll on the presidential campaign released Monday. Bush, the likely Republican nominee, had 50 percent support in the CNN-USA Today-Gallup poll, compared to 41 percent for Gore, the Democrats' likely choice. Eight percent had no opinion and 1 percent chose the category ``other.' The survey of 502 likely voters was taken April 7-9 and had a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points. An earlier poll taken March 30-April 2 had Bush and Gore in a statistical tie, with 46 percent support for the Texas governor and 45 percent support for the vice president.
