I surely don't have the knowledge to judge these things like you do but it sounds good to me. I would think that any strategic relationship with either Intel or Microsoft would be viewed as highly positive, even if it was limited in scope. It should immensely help the legitimization process of CREAF in the eyes of the the institutions and funds who control the lion share of money in the market. Creative has developed a solid brand name recognition on its own, I think, but still lives under this fear of instant oblivion by the forces of Wintel (overdone IMO). So any relationship with either would certainly reign in that fear and get these big boys to except CREAF as a sound, long-term investment, and not just a trading vehicle. This whole news thing has my emotions oscillating between gloom at the thought of a big dump on meaningless news to near euphoria over the possibility of a real "wow" announcement. It's just like today on the course, where I felt like crap after three-jacking for a triple on one hole, only to feel great later when I chipped one in for a bird! Sure hope CREAF doesn't three-putt this one! Dennis
