Whoa ... a professional analyst thinks that MSFT's CRM solution for small to medium businesses will affect SEBL? Golly, what a surprise! I wonder what that means for the rest of the CRM sector? Maybe the whole sector will have sympathy pains tomorrow? It's a good thing that some folks sold at higher levels. TED

TED... >>PALO ALTO, Calif. (Reuters) - Shares of software maker Siebel Systems Inc.(NasdaqNM:SEBL - News) shed 7.7 percent on Wednesday after an analyst said new customer service software from industry giant Microsoft Corp.(NasdaqNM:MSFT - News) poses a competitive threat to Siebel.<< I surely get a big kick out of some of the "news" releases from "analysts." How long has it been since the entire CRM world has known about MSFT entering this market? Now tell me is it just now that someone thinks this is a competitive threat to SEBL. Give me a break. Bob T.
