My guess MPRS will be acquired by a company with a very good domestic distribution channel. BROD or ATVI, both have some Cash. ERTS is probably unlikely since there is overlap in the Simulation market. MSFT after losing some of their developers to GOD may needs some more software development. Although as explained in the Conference call MPRS wants the stock price back up before a merger. If a Bidder lowballs, MPRS will not accept it and with the lineup coming they figure MPRS will be back up and profitable. The Mech Warrior/BattleTech Series is still good, Heavy Gear ATVI's attempt at a Mech Warrior clone seems to have never made to the top of the SW charts like MW. CIV III is coming out. cl >>> My speculation is that Microprose would be bought out by a big software company with good earnings. A company that has the ability to weave Mircroprose's upcoming releases with its own titles and make money... who knows but I like the short term outlook on the stock! <<<
