Justin and all, I hate to digress from all the political and moral wrangling that's going on, but I'd be interested to hear opinions on a speculative "what if". Say MSFT, for whatever reasons, does eventually get split into two separate entities, OS and apps. What effect would that have from an investment standpoint? Is the whole greater than the sum of its parts? The stock isn't running up towards earnings, so it seems the street isn't expecting any positive surprises this Q. Regards, JB
