<<<<Yes....I've been thinking about the name on that button...it sure would be nice...since they are damm hard to miss. e-button companies sales are exploding. ...button would say "pay bills" push it and voila you see checkfree with a list of all of the banks available. imagine the surge in growth that would bring. i think that kind of move in a concerted effort would make microsoft shy away. they are still primarily focused on software and entertainment. their bill pay and financial transaction capabilities are limited. .....when i hear of investors bailing out at these levels with 30's on the horizon i feel that they are underestimating the savvy of checkfree and the fact that the banks do not want to give msft another monopoly--at least i hope that is true. ......my belief is that msft will dominate software and internet content through the desktop and the home tv/computer. i just don't see them having any more than a secondary role in bill pay--but that is as much hope as reality.
