Windsux: Have you read the remedies in their full legalese - I think not! But you and I and everyone else that hasn't read them knows from the news reports what the gist of what they want is. Mr. Saunders was testifying as to the appropriateness of balkanizing MSFT's code. Do you disagree that that is what the states are asking for? What part of Mr. Saunders comments would you disagree with? Indeed you are well named. JFD

Looks like losses actually increased in Communications and in Wireless, on lower sequential revenue. "Other" loss decreased a lot. I believe it has to do with accounting treatment of goodwill. What happened to the goodwill amortization??? If anyone really understands this and can explain, I would appreciate it. The "all other" category includes acquisition-related costs, including amortization of identified intangibles, in-process research and development, and write-offs of acquisition-related intangibles, as well as the revenues and earnings or losses of the New Business Group. "All other" also includes certain corporate-level operating expenses, including a portion of profit-dependent bonus and other expenses that are not allocated to the operating segments. For quarters in 2001, "all other" includes goodwill amortization whereas goodwill is no longer amortized beginning in 2002.
