StarPortal setback didn't prevent the stock from rising 7/16. I think they should be delaying the release until they get it right. It is far worse to release the software, have it bomb, or be buggy rather than eat a little crow about a month or two.

Choppin a 62MB desktop App down to 2MB core (or so) size will be challenging programmatically. App speed must be kept but part of it must execute/stored remotely. App code size must be reduced but it must keep richness of functionality. In the end it must be equal to or better than MS office to cause a shift.

Big challenge.
