IBM and others did a similar thing back in the mid 70's. I do believe that it is a pricing move, and that it will work out for WIND in the long run. The concept is a correct one from the marketing viewpoint. It may even "suggest" a buyout from one of the other companies (MSFT??) that "could be looking into gaining share in an area that they don't (at least at present) really compete in. Bottom line, the potential is HUGE! The only major gate that stands in the way of this move is the corporate menta- lity that "using our own in house systems" is cheaper... This gets into a dumb and dumber situation. Finally, if WIND can get even a 10% of this market, WOW! I'm still long on WIND, and yes, I do own shares. Another BTW, the Charts still look HUGE re: WIND. Something is definitly going on. Take a look at the following - notice the change in volumn. Inst. own. is still big. moneycentral.msn.com Take Care one and all (Michael and Ausdauer).
