good- the best thing is for all the tech companies to unanimously follow csco's lead. Provide the numbers but proforma them out. Then no one tech company can be singled out by WS. Oracle will be next, since Conway is ex-oracle.

I don't care about options expensing. I put options expensing in the same category as goodwill, as far as how to value a company. sheesh lets move on. Those that insist on options expensing can just stay away from tech.
