Hello all,

I have been generally impressed with the high quality of this thread and have decided to jump in, maybe to contribute some humble thoughts.
To give you some background, I have watched the stock off and on for a half a year, and then jumped in after the first fall. Since I had not been holding the stock long, I confess to be one of those irritating people that kept selling and buying after earnings, causing the stock to fluctuate and not rise. I finally got caught at 22 1/2, did another trade at 19 - 19/12, got caught with some more at 19 again and have bought more just recently at 13. At this point, I would qualify this stock as a "no brainer" for the long term, because I thought even at it's all time high it wasn't overvalued.
This is just to say I have extreme confidence in this stock for the long run, and that I did *not* panic once as it went down (in fact I increasingly recommended it to friends as it did).

This may not be interesting to people in this thread, but the fact that I am both a software engineer(therefore technical background) *and* a equal MSFT shareholder might be. And I do *not* consider myself hedging my bets as far as RTOS goes by doing so. If anyone has any questions on my (hopefully) balanced position on this, feel free to ask.

Timothy
