Another WAG

<<But there is still risk in this. MB said that the government may rule that this sort of "spinoff" is a taxable event to shareholders, in which case they would have to reconsider it.>>

I'm betting that if that scenario develops the HD business goes on the block...my bet is they've decided to spin it off one way or the other....I won't be surprised if this spin off facilitates a future takeover of QNTM's drive business (or a merger)...
