Look at the general trend in Oct. It's up from 44 to close to 54. More dollar votes are casted on MSFT than in September when it went down from 48 to 44. This is a result of closely following whatever the info the guys can collect about MSFT and I suppose a large part of it is this case as I don't think there was much new info that may drive the price to this extent. If anything drastic comes out, then kudos to the Judge because that means she kept her judgement quite private. I doubt anything surprising would come out though.

May be this explains why there is no longer an alpha-NT alliance. It's not needed in MS mind, may be?
