Obewon: The trend toward very-low-cost PCs is clear. Regarding MSFT: Maybe, but I doubt it. There are other more likely purchasers without FTC problems and without a focus on operating systems. Furthermore, the price will probably not be a bargain.

Don't you think that Cendant will get split into several pieces? Microsoft might buy a program or two but I doubt they would waste their time cleaning up after the mess that will be left in the Cendant software group. This is a big meat chunk thrown out for the sharks. Except the feeding frenzy that was expected hasn't materialized yet. Someone will buy it eventually but no one is in that big of a hurry.
