Don't you worry for MS. They're going to come out of this smelling like a
rose. The break up (if it ever happens) may turn out to be the best thing
that could happen for them. Hint: If you were ever waiting for a good
opportunity to buy MS stock at a reasonable price, stop waiting and start
buying.
