Haines did make a major mistake. He was so enraged with hate for Microsoft that he was practically foaming at the mouth. His sentences ran together and the subject matter got mixed from one rant to the next. Much of his rant was false to begin with, but it became even less truthful when he got so excited that he combined points. An example was the 10% broadband adoption issue. He got so frantic to get this out that he got confused and stated that only 10% of US homes had access to broadband. That's a false statement. He probably meant to say that only 10% have it, but he was so intent on bashing Microsoft that he failed to even attempt one point at a time. He hates MSFT so much that he was interrupting himself and was running FUD together with other FUD and getting the FUD confused. This caused him to make FALSE and MISLEADING statements. Isn't there a law against that? If not, there's certainly a reason to employ people that avoid making them. His employers will hear about this and he has MANY employers. One of them might act. Dave

DH: I have sent a couple of complaints to the SEC and to CNBC in the recent past. I feel these guys grossly over-hype every situation. They really are the page 6 of the financial world, no more no less. This week they are spending their time destroying investor confidence by wringing their hands over the loss of investor confidence and emphasizing the most ridiculous reasons why the US is in sort of some financial death spiral. Really, these guys have more power than ML's anal-ists.JFD
