I think you maybe got off on a tangent and forgot to explain why you
answered no to my question.
In reference to your anti-capitalist rant... In the last 2 weeks MS has

price has dropped more than 10%. Could it be that shareholders are
learning that MS needs to do something about their shoddy work?
