Dwight, that is the logical position, and a legally astute one. However, from my end, I'm told that the deck is stacked and has been for some time. for the sake of the market, my hope is you're right. my hopes, and others mean little though. they obviously want to handicap msft. I had originally shorted msft at $95, but covered given the strength of this stock and given that I actually like this company, having nothing personal against it. just reporting what I was told. it will take a miracle to move the issue. my personal belief is that bill should adhere to an old saying "give and it shall be given." Bill would be, in the end, much wealthier if he'd follow their lead. Why? because i have more faith in Bill's ability to suceed despite any handicap placed on his business. Bill, though, possibly, is falling into a pre-set trap by conjuring up the attornies. The public relations fallout could be enormous. Not every buyer of computer merchandise owns msft stock and has a predetermined interest in their success. 82% of the world still does not have a msft product. Bill should forget the past and concentrate on meeting the other 82%. it's possible the market will shrug off the msft dealings in the end. i trust so.
