Re: Upside preannouncements MSFT has done this in the past. I don't believe there is any legal requirement for them to do so and I would not expect them to do so now. Remember that in many ways a "loser" image works to MSFT's advantage over the short run since it undermines DoJ's case that MSFT is an unstoppable monster that nothing short of government intervention can prevent from taking over the world. The world has changed almost beyond recognition from the time the antitrust suit was first filed. The rapid pace of technological change and its result that no market position, no matter how apparently formidable, is immune from challenge has always been the best argument for why DoJ's case is completely unnecessary. I expect either a Gore or a Bush administration to find a way out of this no-win situation in the first half of next year.
