In the short term, M$ will have it's stock broken down to a managable
level. However, as mentioned our 401K and 403B plans will also be hit
hard. Not to mention, most small to mid sized business will not be able
to afford decent technicians to maintain their networks and servers. I
promise this to be my last post on this off-topic.

Where do I sign a petition for this?
This kind of makes the rich poorer and stabelizes the economy from what
it
looks like to me. just my opinion. I have to agree that I think stock
options should be obolished all together.
