all this conflicting news is very strange. anyone here think it's possible that real has been set up by msft to look foolish and they think they have a deal they don't have. Is it possible that this is contrived also to cause friction between real and bcst so that msft gets more favorable treatment on bcst site than real could it also be possible that msft created this false leak to pump the stock as they dump. these ideas may be off the wall, but they also sound like their possible.....if so, I wonder if msft ends up the big looser here because I and others can see through this unethical strategy. I f I am close to accurate here, the pr will cause a lot more negatism toward msft than already exists.
