djia, I do think we will have a solid year next year with the case in appeals court and possibly new products finally kicking in some good revenues.

Of course, it's possible that in a year's time 70 will be a 52 week high. <g>

I tend to agree with others here that Microsoft is prob. near a bottom. Mainly it is because I know many people who are buying Microsoft stock now that it is cheap. These are people that will hold this stock 10, 20, 30 years. I dont see them selling. They are not people like many of us here looking to make a quick buck on a trade, and frankly they are the kind of people I would imagine most people would love to have as shareholders. So, I believe the combination of new buyers finally given the chance to buy Microsoft at a "cheap" price, employees happy because of recently repriced stock options, and insiders dedicated to getting past all of the legal issues all prob. bodes well for MSFT. Long term, I am not worried. The inner circle Gates has put together is a force. Granted I think they overestimated what would happen to them in this case, I think (as Barrons hinted at) the recent Q warnings of slower growth is more of a case of trying to not appear as unstoppable force rather than grim news. Windows 2000 is being adopted as expected, I know first hand several clients dumping a ton of money in to rollouts this Q and that can only help the bottom line. Additionally, I am very impressed with SQL 2000. Good luck to all here, long or short.
