Jason, WOW! your link was six months old?!? Yeah, I know. In fact, that it is six months old makes it worse. I haven't read anything to show that Sandisk cards have gotten faster in the last 6 months. Also isn't 6 months ago just about the time Sandisk stock topped out? Apple's OS may have been better than Windows, but WHO CARES? Well in the history of public companies MSFT is unique. One of a kind for sure. Never has there been a company that has been so financially successful with a product that is a piece of absolute half-assed crap. They did not succeed in any way on the quality of their product, but because they were very manipulative, cut throat, dishonest and most of all a monopoly. It is a shame that the justice department did not require them to release the code from all windows versions so that another company could make a quality product. The only other company I can think of with a second rate stinky product that has done fairly well is AOL. Other than that MSFT is alone. MSFT is the fluke of the century likes of which you will never see again. (I can't help get a kick out of Gates and Balmer racing earth movers in the middle of the night!) So any similarity between MSFT and SNDK is meaningless. As to performance between different brands of flashcards, the only really valid comparison is one which compares both cards in the same cameras and gives valid data, not just some biased stock owner who has only tried one card. Please! Whick cards do you think consumers will buy, price being equal? The fast card or the slow one? This is a no brainer. Steve 667
