As far as aggressive moves to counter a free product, what are they going to do? Pay you money to use it? Hmmm, who would have ever thought of free computers a few years back? I wouldn't put it beyond MicroSlop to consider putting permanent banner ads in your apps, desktop or perhaps task bar. Ironically,you may be dreadfully correct!

What about a reverse split to boost shareholder value? So many posts have noted that major corporations would never buy major apps from a company with a stock price under $5.00. Lets increase the stock price to $20.00 by have a 1 for 5 reverse split. Food lion announced that they were doing it today and stock price is rising. Yes, I know historically that has been a negative for stock. However, in the case in Inprise where stock price is a major hindrance to product sales, it might work.
