Hey, you're right -- this is a bargaining chip for BigCo, but the "invisible" factor here is that the economy is clearly in freefall and no one is ready to call the emperor naked. Everyone's cutting their losses, and in sectors as important as tech and with companies as big as MSFT, there's always some government support and "insider insight" into these events. If BigTech comes out of this on the other side, I fully expect one big company to be absorbed / dependent upon another. If not, this is prime time for underdogs to really show what they are capable of.

Free fall? That is some ripe hyperbole.
