MLB.V - Apparently they're just waiting on Paul Allen and friends:

From the Bullboards (I spoke with Sonny and he confirms it):

I was told directly from Sonny that the "Seattle Group" is owned by Bill Gates.

So for me that name of the Seattle Group is Microsoft.

Oh, a number of my contacts have asked me what I think about this deal and what impact Microsoft's legal problems may have on the returns for Pixelplay if the deals closes.

I remind everyone that Bill Gates himself has said that he has made two big mistakes in his life. First one was creating one large company rather than several smaller ones and the other was not doing more to stop talent from leaving his company.

If Microsoft does get ordered to split I think it would help Pixelplay. Just think a whole real division that handles gaming. My experience has been that a large company does better to break up and organized it's self into profit centers. Each profit center would have a very clear set up goals.

And with Microsoft's ability to organize and use the Internet effectively they could control the cost of duplicating services within the whole group of companies. And I'm positive the new relationship with zerox would go along way to building this solution.

I honestly feel that the breakup of the company would create growing pains but at the end of the day they would be stronger. And if Microsoft is not ordered to breakup I personally feel that Microsoft ought to create a new company to handle the Gaming end of the business.

If you have shares to sell below a buck I'll buy ..

You know how the old expression goes ' a sucker born every minute ..', well if you read this board and still want to sell this stock that your problem.

Just don't ever come back and say why didn't someone tell me about this deal ..
