Technology Stocks : How high will Microsoft fly? -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

I sincerely hope both the DOJ and MSFT can come to an amicable settlement here. I am sure they can see some middle ground. MSFT stock has been floundering of late - I sure hope Bill Gates and his top folks have taken notice of that. At the same time, I am sure the DOJ does not want to break up one of the greatest companies on the face of this earth - lets not forget it is one of the top exporters for this country. As an individual small investor, this is my fervent hope.

So please folks - lets do the right thing here.

Gotta love it:

"Microsoft, also a Comcast ally, was also discussing ways to help, but is likely to strike its own side agreement with AT&T that reportedly could include a $5 billion investment in Ma Bell.

In exchange, AT&T would choose Microsoft software to run the set top boxes that will control the new telecom services entering the home via cable wiring. Microsoft was fearful AT&T would choose software from rival Sun Microsystems."
