TSC, shorted 10,000 shares and can't sleep at night. See how restless those 3 articles are. This I think is the plight of 42million other short share holders. If MSFT moves counter to popular sentiment, lot of short term shorts will scramble. What a price to be shorting anyways? By the way on breakup; I would love to have 3-4 baby MSFT stocks for everyone I own. This would be the best outcome for long term appreciation. For example the internet division with 1 Billion in sales could fetch 100 - 120 Billion market cap by itself. Far greater prices/sales than the price to sales of 13 for the entire MSFT right now.

Captain, you said >John-- If you think that minor newspaper is slanted Anti MSFT< That 'minor newspaper' [San Jose Mercury News] happens to be Silicon Valley's only newspaper. Nearest are two San Francisco papers. The SJMN is known for anti-MSFT sentiment and used to disclose their membership in an anti-MSFT industry group whenever Dan Gillmor's articles critized MSFT. I think they are no longer members. SJMN has better technology coverage than the SF papers. Gottfried
