Why wont MSFT kill SFA or at least eliminate opportunity for profit the way it has done in every other field it has wanted to enter? Isn't MSFT campaigning hard to have ITS operating system Windows CE or some other version used in the next generation cable set top boxes? Put me down as a MSFT hater, but I have held stocks (NOVL, NSCP, CKFR) that operate in sectors that MSFT is interested in. It is no fun. Even if the product of the non-MSFT competitior is superior and ahead (i.e. 18 monts) MSFT showing up scares the daylights out of big fund investors in the non-MSFT competitor. I like the SFA story but . . . someone tell me why MSFT will not ruin the party (18 month lead and own "current" operating system in boxes available now IS NOT ENOUGH). All MSFT has to do is grease the right palms and say "we have this vapor ware product we are working on right now and gee its gonna be dandy, don't buy the competitors currently available product, wait for ours or you will be sorry." Man I hate MSFT sometimes.
