Key technical people leave MSFDC! Read (look for Microsoft): techweb.cmp.com "Sources say Willis snagged some key technical people from Microsoft's own E-Commerce effort." I think that this is very important news. Imagine if key technical people were leaving CheckFree, what would the analyst say? If Microsoft has so much money, why can't they hold on to 'KEY' people? Will this be a set back to MSFDC? (If they are Key people, I would think so). Benny

>>>And if they have such an interest in CKFR's success, why all the comotion(sp) about the "monster". Am I missing something? A.W. Partly I think because none of this has ever been down before. Think of one of those 1200 piece puzzels.....except this is real life. Each piece is a real life business with different Ideas hopes and fears....BofA, CitiBank, Chase, NBD, Intuit, MS, MSFDC, EDS, Checkfree, FDC, IBM, Your local banking branch, NetScape, Integrion, CyberCash, and the list would go into the 10's of thousands went you consider the Billers, Vendors, Brokers, Insurance, Merchants etal.... And technological advancement and the internet is pushing this thing we call e-Commerce into high gear...one can only guess at this point where the best place to be is with your money. But one this I share with doc......that is we like to bet on the leaders, and I think a lot in here feel that same way.... But one thing is for sure, in 5 years you can look and say, 'Man, I should have done that!'. You told me once A.W. to follow the Money......Good Advice. If you see it flowing anywhere else be sure and let me know........
