Wiz, NN,

We've been studying up on BVSN, I'm still worried about the architecture transition, but then this nonsense comes along:

<<BroadVision, which is best known for selling software that lets companies personalize what customers see on Web sites, said in a statement that it expects its new MarketMaker product to ``blow Ariba and Commerce One out of the water.'' >>

What the %^**$#@#$ are these morons thinking? They explicitly stated they weren't going to go after cmrc and arba (nor can they come close in the attempt in my opinion).

This is a no win loudmouth and perhaps strategically stupid thing to do.

I'm also troubled by the release a few days before the end of the quarter....our indications were that despite artg strengthening, bvsn was having no problems....but trying to slide a new product out just before the q is out?

and then this "blowing away" nonsense. it reminds me of several software acts of bravado in the past.....

OS/2 better Windows than Windows, Better DOS than DOS

Vantive: We're gonna crush SEBL in SFA,

etc etc.

Now I wonder if BVSN is really actually a short?
