Wizard, don't confuse press releases emanating from Redmond to equate to a potential investment position. Also, even if MSFT does take a position, we shouldn't equate MSFT as seeing value in the stock, only in the relationship with the company. Sometimes these investments serve the purpose of the investor, not the shareholders. Not saying this is the case, just relating my experience.
But, I do agree with you that an investment should certainly provide an immediate boost to the stock. We need something external to drive this thing, since the internal workings seem to be progressing at a snail's pace.
Too bad management owns so much of the company. If I could design the owners comp plans, I'd cut their salaries to 50k, divert the other 150k to a leveraged bonus plan based on revenue milestones, and give them 30 days to pay their debts back to the company. Oops, my impatience is showing.
