I do not believe that the press release you are referring to reflects NetApp's response to EMC's latest counter. It is boilerplate that was originally released when NetApp matched EMC's previous offer. NetApp is required to respond to the new offer within five days and I would expect a dedicated release on the topic. I agree that NetApp is now in a tough position and will have a difficult time matching EMC's offer. Jeff,

I agree that NetApp is now in a tough position and will have a difficult time matching EMC’s offer.

The CEO claims NetApp's last bid is STILL superior to the new MEC offer and will wait on a full shareholder vote. Could be a ploy to just stick to EMC and have them offer %35 per share. NetApp really has no more to offer unless some investor steps in. NetApp not bidding again.
