I agree that this is a significant partnership. SanDisk will no doubt benefit from an alliance of powerful partners such as Microsoft etc.

I love it because many of the INTERNET heavyhitters(Broadcast,Excite) are part of this and SanDisk is the ONLY flash storage company.

Don,

A press release with Microsoft and SNDK in the same sentence can only be perceived as an endorsement of SNDK's new copyright protection software on MMC cards.

I still think the grass roots demand for an unpoliced flow of information (the mp3 standard) will be high and possibly enhanced by more restrictive, competing compression/encryption standard.

Don,

How many press releases does Microsoft do a day? Hope people don't wear out their "next" button before getting to the SNDK news.

I noticed after hour sales of 13,100 so maybe we'll get a bounce just because of the Microsoft ties.

I hope Art is correct and that there is a swell of buying today coupled with on-target earnings and a positive C.C.
