The small investor does not have such luxuries and IMHO doesn't even enter into the equation for this company's strategies (someone forgot what got them here). The small investor (as well as large) have benefited through the years, from the forward thinking, deep bench of Microsoft. This is good. Shareholders are an integral part of the destination, however, the scales of balance lean towards Microsoft bringing shareholders where we are today, and not the other way around. Looking forward it doesn't appear to be any different, as well as it should not. Any suggestion that Microsoft should have folded their hand to appease relatively new shareholders for the possible demise longer term, would obviously make both classes of shareholders very unhappy, while elation would overwhelm Microsoft's competitors. Given no viable settlement proposal thus far, they have chosen to fight on. Fight on for Microsoft, it's shareholders and just as importantly, if not more importantly of all, The Rule Of Law. This is better. Cordially, Thunder
