And who owns > Motorola? you guessed it, Microsoft... What kind of FUD is that? Motorola is a publicly held company with over 2 billion shares outstanding. MS and MOT hav edoen a few deals in the wireless arena but I have never heard that MS held a substantial interest in MOT let alone a controlling share. According to Morningstar >25% of the shares are owned by funds but I could not find anything about additional ownership and Dont feel like digging through the SEC filings to see if any one company owns a huge chunk. Additionally, I feel like MS owning/controlling the company that makes the cpu that apple computers are based on would have made the news. Please keep blanket FUD statements like this to yourself.
