Benny he gave it the lowest rating he could possible give it.... biz.yahoo.com Which just adds to the downgrade.....unless you see a totally worthless? And he might have a point....if these Banks(Wells, Key, BankOne, & Norwest) did, do, or are going to change who is 'hot' on the pay button. That is, was revenue for Checkfree...and now it's a free service provided by MSFDC. Like I said....what'um nut CheckFree's current revenue stream payments ala NetScape Browser, and enlist the Banks themselves as promoters of a presentment/payment model passing all the costs to the Billing Vendors thru revenue enhancement. There are a lot of things Mr. Bill may or may not be, but one of them is, he isn't is stupid. One could argue a lot of vested interest promotion going on by the Banks under the MSFDC Model. It enlists the once fearful....enticed by no cost and unlimited revenue.....Look over your shoulder at Netscape....why did the Box Makers put IE in the Box? They play is much the same way wherever they go....the pattern, except these aren't Box Makers, they're Banks. Another example of MS making something total worthless look at a hot idea...CyberMedias' Oil Change, QuarterDecks' TuneUp...soon two very innovative ideas & products to go totally worthless as MicoSoft includes the feature in Win98. Believe me they have a Plan.....It's in every press release. I believe the answers to my question weren't asked directly by the analysts at the last confrence call. Somebody ought to call them and see if we are going to lose revenue from those 4 Banks on the "Pay Button", and Post it up. Anybody? Both sides of the 'Rock'.
