We're not recommending purchase of it, but I do think that the worst is probably behind. I do think that there is probably a bounce due in the stock. It's Microsoft's turn at the plate, if you will. I think the actions really will start to play in their favor. I think a stock buyback program begins within the next six-to-eight weeks. I think that's one line of defense that the company has for the stock.

We initiated coverage and with a buy recommendation quite recently, the other day, on Palm ( PALM Research , Estimates ). The hand-held device market is the hottest area for Christmas along with digital cameras and a few other areas. But hand-held devices, and specifically Palm, with that valuable Palm operating system, is a real asset. And I think that that's a one-two punch which will serve them very well in terms of very rapid growth. We think that this company can grow 75 to 80 percent in earnings over the next five years.

I think fundamentally we have a company that's going through a transition. Windows 2000 did not prove or has not yet proved to be the panacea for all of the growth problems that the company had hoped for, so I think that the jury is still out, literally, on that question.
