PE Allen posted the same announcement at TAVA and elsewhere---this was the response from someone at TAVA. Because it comes from another thread and not from one of the polarized posters here, I thought you might be interested in the response.

Acceptance into Microsoft's ISV Startup program requires filling out a form. Really selective, I'd
say! What a crock of a P.R...

I'm not sure I agree and that is coming from a skeptic.

Precisely why I am so offended.

To anyone who is a programmer, joining MSFT's ISV program is an absolute must. You get gobs of invaluable stuff from them. MSFT urges you to join and sends out many a promotional mailer.

What CASHCO has done has made it appear they were getting singled out by MSFT in some form or fashion. The fact that a non-event was given treatment is a press release is, IMO, absolute misrepresentation of the facts and a blatant attempt to influence unwary investors that a newsworthy event had taken place.
