Microsoft, Sun to Enter Mediation Microsoft Corp. said it will comply with a federal court directive to enter mediation with Sun Microsystems Inc. to resolve a Sun lawsuit over the Java computer language. Federal District Judge Ronald Whyte late Wednesday sent the two companies to either a court magistrate or to a mutually selected arbiter to end their long-running dispute. Late last year, Whyte issued a preliminary injunction against Microsoft in the case and Judge ordered the software company to change its version of Java to meet Sun's specifications. Microsoft has said it plans to file an appeal to the ruling by mid January.

Tech2000, you've made some great calls on this Microsoft rally going into earnings. I still think you're on the mark, and the February 150 options are up about 100 percent since Tuesday. Wish those Februaries had come out earlier! Another thing to take note of, a week ago in IBD they showed short interest in stocks, and I noticed a fairly high short interest in Microsoft, there must be some link to the data. This could also help propel MSFT along with the momentum, upgrades, possible good earnings, and possible split announcement. Ok, time to brave the snowstorm here in Chicago to head for the office...
