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.
