It it was a large cash dividend, I don't think it would really help the company in the long run...

Hi folks. I created a new subject to discuss historical / technical data. I'm hoping that we can put together an analysis of this stock for short-term/long-term investors. Subject 26994

>>>Microsoft Shareholders May be Coming Into some Big Cash in 1999 ~~~A strategic plan prepared for the states lays out the possibility of a forced auction of Windows licensing rights. ~~~~If true, would there be a LARGE cash dividend for shareholders?<<< Microsoft has 5 billion shares of stock outstanding. If three companies each paid $5 billion dollars for licensing rights - we'll get a whopping $3 per share windfall. IMHO, this doesn't seem like a good deal for shareholders.
