The question is what is MS interest in this? If they can't use this as a application to force heritage computing onto a Windows NT platform; there doesn't seem to be a big payoff for MS at the end of the day.

One of Checkfree's main marketing advantages over MSFDC disappeared this month, when MSFDC reversed its insistence that billers store bill detail - in addition to bill summary - data inside its platform. Yea..but....YEABUT....just because they agree, and had an awaking...does not mean they can change it tomorrow. You live life by every day choosing a 'fork in the road', and you follow that path where it leads you. If you go the wrong way you have to back up and re-engineer....so back up Toliet Paper to January and add 8 Months to the 1 1/2 to 2 years. IE...they will have a viable service sometime in the next 5 years....which can compete head to head with CKFR. Not word for word. They do a lot of talking, but they can't process anything. CKFR has been doing some of my bills for 7 months. Toliet Paper is still dreaming about it...talking as if they did it, and are the only ones to do it with. BULLSHIT!!
