Phaedrus: Thanks for the WSJ reference; I missed that. I'd hate to think a little thing like that could account for the drop. But if indeed that's all that's driving the price down today, then watch it jump back tomorrow.

>>> IMHO, CKFR is much better positioned to work with the banks and therefore, the bank's customers.

Yes but they still need a 'Button'...and now. If they don't get themselves a 'Button' on some of these well traversed 'Web Guides' where the people are all at. MSFDC will...and when they do...they will bid the price to the moon...and grab exclusives. Making it the most convenient way to 'Bank On Line'.....who cares about contracts with no users.

IBM/Integrion/Checkfree need a branded service.....(tm) to get their users.....we all use ATMs because they are everywhere? Not because they are our Banks......... Get it?

<<<<The artcle specifically mentions MSFDC and First data targeting bill presentment and payment

......i agree that is the reason for the slide. however, how can msft go around all of ckfr's exclusive agreements?
