LOL!!! It looks like Maritz was slapped on the hand big time for that STUPID comment. Its funny how they worked on the wording of that clarification. There was no misunderstanding Maritz's initial comments. It was purely an arrogant threat and lashing out to the IT world as a result of the ruling. It is these kind of brainless actions that will get MSFT in trouble. They had better watch there mouths. You can expect these comments from a junior person within MSFT, but not a Senior VP like Maritz. If I were a stockholder like many of you are (were) then I would be royally pissed MAritz's thoughtless comments. (instead you attack the messengers - like me for pointing it out). Toy

Some people wanted to talk financials here instead of hust technology (even though MSFT is a technology company). So here is a little financial: Todays closings (or close to closings): NSCP: +34.2% (BIG WINNER!) CSCO: +6% (because of the announcement with NOVL and NDS) NOVL: +7.8% (because of the announcement with CSCO using NDS) INTL: +1.3% (they have now pass MSFT's share price) IBM: +.6% (they flirted with $160 again) ORCL: +1.5% (likely due to Sun win over MSFT) SUNW: -.1% (who the hell knows why that would be) MSFT: -2.1% (we all know why) Looks like it was a good day all around the tech sector except...
