I don't understand the big deal with this for long-term, it is an acctg. thing, but unless they have to carry some several millions on the current accounting books for R&D, it won't affect the future profit reports( when charges aren't taken into account). VNTV won't have real good profit picture until the summer anyway. I hop they clean house come MARCH qtr. because i 'd love to have a chance at this guy at $5-$7 again. There are 150 cos. under this review. probably LU CSCO they do it all the time. I think that is good company, even if it causes some kneejerk reaction. I am more interested in why the license growth evaporated this past 2-3qtrs.,is it coming back?
