Herb, re: I hope Greg Jones is right and this bill does not pass. Me too. re: Semiconeng was saying that "Intel's Development and Process Engineers were doing 70-80 hour workweeks for MONTHS and MONTHS and MONTHS to get this thing working and transplanted employees were working some 80 hrs per week getting the .13 out." I guess that's why Intel's productivity numbers are better than AMDs. John

Given the consequences which many tech companies and some non-tech companies would face if S.1940 passes I looked at S.1940, and apart from some of the nastier ramifications, I find it to be a very ambiguous and poorly written bill at this point. No distinction is made (at least in the current bill) between ISO and Non-qual stock options. It doesn't make a lot of sense to discuss transfer of property in regards to non-qual stock options because the employees will count those as income (wages) as opposed to capital gains on their personal income tax...
