Major Antitrust Case Against Microsoft Looms. via Reuters >Federal and state regulators are expected to announce on Thursday antitrust action against Microsoft Corp. in one of the biggest such cases in history, rivaling the breakup of Standard Oil and telephone giant AT&T Corp.< >''The government is more likely to be successful in an antitrust case that's targeted at stopping specific practices than it is if it decides to bring the kind of challenge that would lead to a breakup of the company,'' said Howard Morse, a computer specialist who is now a partner in Drinker Biddle & Reath, a Washington law firm. From the government perspective, one glaring practice has been Microsoft's allegedly unfair competition with Netscape Communications Corp. and its Internet Web browser. One possibility is to redesign Windows 98. But an appellate court, deciding against the Justice Department on a related issue this week, said the government should not be ''in the unwelcome position of designing computers.''< biz.yahoo.com

<<We have yet to get another upgrade. We are due at least one from that bottom recommendation. With 17 anal'ists covering the issue with a hold recommendation,one has got to thaw a little. After all ... the long term growth forcast is 11%.>> HerbVic, Well, I am very curious about the one who rates Apple as "strong sell" against the general trend of "buy" recommendation. Who is he and what is the institution? They are supposed to provide us the rationale for their opposite suggestion. Are they too busy or are they playing politics or any other reasons to stubbornly stick with that stupid rating? Phil
