I should know better than to respond to Toy (and I'm sure I'll regret it), but...

You'd prefer that patches & features be released to the general public WITHOUT being tested first? No thank you.

Toy,

>You know life at MSFT is getting tough when even their Service Packs are now coming out with Beta Version!!!

I don't see anything wrong on this. To me, it is Win98.01, and it is very normal practice to all the software company.

I agree as I put in a day order to buy 100,000 shares but it did not go down enough. Needs to drop another 140 points. Maybe you can do something to encourage the analyst to downgrade MSFT so that I can get that buying opportunity.

Toy, you are impossible. When Win 98 came out you complained that it was really a service pack, but didn't complain about the beta testing. Now SP1 comes out and you complain that it is in beta. For Pete's sake, Toy, quit being so fricking transparent in your biased, prejudiced perspective. You are fooling no one but your poor self!
