From the Microsoft trial Greg Maffei, Microsoft's former CFO, opined: "It's all been very hard on Bill - I mean physically; it literally made him sick. I think the reason he's no longer CEO is directly attributable to this experience with the courts and the government." Maffei also admitted that Microsoft had hedged Microsoft's $150 million investment in Apple by simultaneously shorting the stock - which will be of considerable interest to Apple fans who always suspected the worst. If Microsoft did the same with Corel the net effect on the stock would be nearly negligible.
