>>> Sloppy and Microsoft.

I think MS should take that as a compliment. The first versions of Internet Explorer, MSMoney, Windows, etc. were regarded as terrible, therefore, 'Sloppy' is good news for MS. I think it's some sort of tradition (or Marketing Concept) at Microsoft to make the first version of any product bad, so that future versions always look better than the past. IMO.

"Sloppy entry of MSFDC (the joint venture of Microsoft and First Data Corp) into the marketplace has served to accelerate adoption of electronic bill presentment without presenting a meaningful immediate threat," he wrote in the report.

That was my personal favorite too. I liked the part where he got the poke into the MSFDC threat. Um, just brought more attention to CKFR. IMO.
