OSFT-another piece of the puzzle: I get the feeling that this small company is right between a large retailer like Blockbuster, and content providers like…. Well what MSFT would like to become. Remember when they wanted to go after a "tiny slice" of every on-line transaction, perhaps by acquiring a company like Quicken, which the courts stopped. Of course MSFT brags on any company that uses their tools well, as advertising for themselves. But I keep thinking, this small company couldn't handle a Mega-(blockbuster) deal without some real deep pockets behind them… I mean Internet kiosks, what use at all could that be to MSFT?? And what if someone else (SUN/AOL/etc…) did it first??? JUST PONDERING, Do your own DD!!!
