I'm not sure about the answer to your question. I hope AOL would pay NSCP. MSFT could have just written it off. I have one too: will AOL investment in NSCP and what would that mean for company and stock price? (By the way, anyone look at www.newhoo.com? Kind of like www.yahoo.com) Earnings are to be reported on Tuesday (I think). There won't be any huge announcement this close to earnings. I think stock price will depend on Tuesday. I averaged up just before the last explosion to $44. I remember that rumor was about a TWX deal with investment and content. It was just before earnings and we were in quite time. Well nothing happened. No announcement. The price drifted into the low $20s and then Sept to $16. Now what?

Browser share does not directly affect bottom line. It is a prestige item, and it may indirectly help sales of other software which works with the browser. However, mindshare is all that matters these days. Look at Amazon, Yahoo, Lycos, etc.. None of them make any money at all.
