It gives the boot to the reboot ... but I'm not suggesting anyone sell MSFT. It should get a boost from the trial ending regardless of the outcome. Linux has never crashed on me. Windows 95 freezes, crashes etc. on me frequently. I think MSFT has a couple of good years left in it.

taxman, Re: Implied volatility of options. Just read Intel options are in the the forties. April 130 calls--I worked out about 49. Microsoft is still at around 38. Both of these going to split and both stocks are somewhat volatile. I am just wondering when the volatility for MSFT options increases. My guess is about a week before split which will also be the start of the earnings run up. Would the stock not be more volatile post split anyways as we could see bigger percentage moves than we see now. Just curios.
