Nicholas, I agree that Picasso will sell with HYDRA for large, multi-server installations with multi-platform clients. But I think HYDRA will sell alone for many smaller installations, it is functional without Picasso. Anyone can look at the 10q and back out the amount of the MSFT payments from earnings and PE, so I will leave that as an exercise for those interested. I have no problem with including on-going license fees, but the MSFT $75 million payment was one time payment for exclusive purchase of an asset that can not be sold again, thus should not be included in quarterly earnings on a pro-rated basis.
