Excuse me, by why the hell would you expect to get facts from their own uninformed propaganda machine? I would encourage people to never rely on anything told to them over the phone from somebody whose job it is to inflate expectations. What did you expect? That IR would say things were going poorly as reflected in the stock price.

I'm just really stunned at the level of naivety of some people. The revenues are falling and the numbers can't be reliably divided into enterprise/tools so we don't know if the growth claims are anything more than smoke blowing. The best news they have to report is that somebody, somewhere bought some server software. I don't think it would be that tough for Inprise to put together a few such sales, do you? What does it tell you that they don't have several dozen such sales? Even if they have several dozen, well-connected investors, friends and family could be responsible for that. Unless and until they start selling hundreds of servers they're worthless.
