Microsoft sneezes.....

		Citrix shares tumbled $15.625 to $10.625 in heavy
                trading, with over 13.8 million shares changing
                hands. 

                Late Wednesday, Citrix reported that Microsoft said
                it was looking to develop multiuser features in its
                increasingly popular Windows NT operating system
                that would compete with Citrix's WinFrame software
                that lets users of multiple computers access Windows
                NT. 

That was a sixty percent drop, not 20 as I said earlier.

		but
                it has yet to decide if the technology will come from
                its own development, from Citrix, or from another
                company. 

and they may leave them hanging out to dry, but

		Microsoft treasurer Greg Maffei is a member of
                Citrix's board of directors, and Microsoft owns an
                equity stake of about six percent of Citrix. 

so maybe resistance was futile, and all will be assimilated from the
beginning.
