what is the # we are marking our "higher bid" from?
posted 21 weeks ago
Higher then then $44.6 billion already offered ... In other words, will MSFT offer say $47 billion or $50 billion or whatever.

Watching how things have developed thus far, I am going to say ABSOLUTELY YES, MSFT will up their bid :-D And I'll put my money where my mouth is too :-P
