Mike,
Gees, you must be part of SystemSoft's propaganda squade. I thought only they revived old press announcements... Mike, you don't know me and I don't know you. But believe I know this company, (first hand..). If you don't believe me-quiz me. Did you know that SYSF had an employee turn over rate of nearly 30% less than 2 years ago?(hint) There's a good reason why I know things about this company, that most outsiders don't. Enough said on that... I contributed to this site to give small investors some insite on what really goes on at SYSF. I see now that most do not want to hear it, that you will follow along blindly. I sincerly wish you the best of luck, and hope that this stock doesn't turn sour on you.
By the way, Microsoft never licenses anything...they buy out right (that's how Gates got DOS 1.0). Awhile back Microsoft evaluated PCMCIA software from SystemSoft, Award, Phoenix, etc. I heard that Phoenix was actually willing to give it to them for free, but they liked SYSF's code better and paid them $500k for it. The code that Microsoft eventually married into WIN95 was only ver 2.0 compliant to the PCMCIA spec. CardWizardPro from SystemSoft brings WIN95 up to current PCMCIA spec, adding such things as multifunction support, multi voltage, DMA, additional adapters, etc. The problem is though that CWPro still uses 16 bit real mode drivers, not 32 bit protected mode VXD's. Although with a duo-driver they can coexist with WIN95's native vxd's there is a performance hit. Multi-threaded and multi-tasked operations may be impared depending on the pccard technology being used in the machine. Also, programs that require space in conventional memory may not run at all (a real problem for gamers).
Lastly, I have seen the SystemWizard demo. Reaction: ehhhhhh.....
Have fun with your stock, hope you can retire early.
