Richie, it is precisely due to the mahem over CPQs share price that I would not expect the powers-that-be at CPQ to give shareholders of a specific date of record the opportunity to buy shares of the IPO. Having the price of CPQ behave like YHOO or the likes could actually hurt long term investors, some of whom do not hold shares of CPQ yet. It could be a crash and burn scenario--people artificially driving the price of CPQ up then dumping shares right after they were able to pick-up some shares of Alta Vista at 'shareholder' pricing.
