    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
    had to re-release their Oct. 15 patches twice. In that time their stock
    price has dropped more than 10%. Could it be that shareholders are
    learning that MS needs to do something about their shoddy work?
