Another infringer.
Sounds like it. If so, Msft has to pay up now. Kicking the tires was ok. But once they sell the car with our patents in the car, we get paid. Let’s hope it’s in escrow til after Wade’s appeal is final and Nefarious gives up before he too goes to the slammer. I think they’ll both be going regardless, and Mills will get off with a fine and probation. IMO. WE’ll see pretty soon now imo. Like you say. The Cats out of the bag now. All aboard! Oh wait. We already are. Lol
The only thing missing is MLE

Here's another article that shows DC-Steve and tepe don't know anything about what Scott did or they aren't reading so they can just say what they want and hope people don't read. They want people to think he was just a regular CIO so he wouldn't know anything about VCSY technology but Microsoft says the IT department worked in development.
http://www.informationweek.com/windows/showArticle.jhtml;jsessionid=Z0Z4QBMNPZCTIQSNDLRCKH0CJUNN2JVN?articleID=201806860
Scott noted that the IT organization now spends almost 45% of its budget on new product development (as opposed to maintenance and ongoing support), a notable improvement from 30% in the past. Turner, asked to point to areas Microsoft IT can still improve, said, "I'd like you to be up around 65% application development spending."
If Scott's IT initiatives sound a lot like Microsoft's software marketing strategy, they are. He's expected to be the first implementer of any technology coming to market
The job also means keeping a step ahead of a group of employees who don't think twice about writing their own code or provisioning their own server if they have an IT need.

Here's the kicker that shows Scott would be the first to try out any VCSY technology Microsoft had. "If Scott's IT initiatives sound a lot like Microsoft's software marketing strategy, they are. He's expected to be the first implementer of any technology coming to market "
It in here.

Then in email morrie33 wrote to his fellow longs:
Just a thought; if MSFT was fighting the VCSY case tooth and nail, wouldn't you want someone like Scott still at MSFT and still very loyal to MSFT because they're paying his bills...? If he is an important figure in this case, why fire him and get him angry if his words and testimony could come back to screw you? But, if MSFT had settled and/or were working on a settlement that was almost done, and Scott was one of the architect's of this problem, one of the reason MSFT is going to have to settle this case, his firing wouldn't harm MSFT. The case is settled. He won't have to testify. MSFT could use a scapegoat now because the case is over or will be over, in a sense. Just a thought. If VCSY can subpoena this guy in a court case, he would be VCSY's best friend because MSFT fired him. So...the move really doesn't make much sense to MSFT if this guy is an important cog as others are making him out to be. Now MSFT is full of ego, and they do a lot of things that don't make sense, but this seems like suicide in this court case if it moves forward. Conversely, if MSFT settles. They need to drop their "infringement" in someone's lap. Just strange. And strange timing on top of it.
Port responded:
I agree with your points. Now, plug Scott in as the scapegoat set up to perform the infringing technology integration in 2005 and bounced now. Why? Gates and Ballmer can blame any discovered infringement on their go-to technology guy.
Scott is the one who was the key guy in new technology introduction. The minions could have purged all their work when VCSY got the Siteflash patent and re-introduced the concepts when Scott came on board. Scott then becomes the guy responsible for bringing "that technology" into Microsoft after the patent was granted.
That allows Ballmer to know his company will have the tech in play as he needs it and also allows him to have righteous indignation to find the tech is VCSY patented technology when it becomes obvious they're going to have to settle with VCSY.
The introduction of various elements within this past week is difficult to explain if Microsoft intends to fight VCSY. At some point VCSY is going to call foul on 521 if the fight is in full force.
Then POSCASH wrote:
Hey Morrie!
All I can say is I like your thoughts and all of this speculation does make sense.
If true, it could be a best seller as a book deal! LOL
Interesting also that this topic of S. Stuart being fired has really got the bashers
in a frenzy!
MORE FROM PORT:
Date: Fri, 9 Nov 2007 08:57:45 -0800 From: port Subject: Re: FW: scott at MSFT
Microsoft has been making announcements this week that are bound to get them in deeper if they're intent on fighting VCSY. I can't explain what they're doing because it sounds like they went nuts if they really are going to fight.
This only makes sense with a settlement. It does not make sense without a settlement. It's almost like Microsoft is settling in along with Google, Adobe and IBM as far as their subdued marketing and marking time with the competitors:
http://blogs.zdnet.com/microsoft/?p=918
It’s surprising to me how little Microsoft is doing to publicize the Windows Live APIs and tools that it is making available to developers. Instead, the Redmondians are letting Google steal all the thunder — while simultaneously hoping to siphon a little of Google’s momentum by choosing a “Fire” based name for the upcoming Microsoft Silverlight developers’ workshop…Microsoft Silverlight Fire Starter vs. Google’s OpenSocial Campfire.
I think what happened to Scott was Ballmer ejecting his plan to bring the technology in in case the VCSY folded (he would have had the tech ready to go) and now he needs to look like his technology people are doing brand new work.
BUT. If Scott catches on that he was a pawn, this kind of strategy could blow up in Ballmer's face. It's all very confusing and that's why it's hard to track this kind of thing without somebody coughing up some real information. That's why the rumors need to be wrung out.
And finally, to be fair to the Idiot Brigade, their Lieutenant Moron spoke up:

perhaps morrie should spend less time hacking out ridiculous emails & thinking more about what he'd like to comment on.
scott is likely of no importance. If he was the smoking gun like you lunatics like to make him out to be, MSFT would've transferred him out of the country & out of range of the court system.
I get amusement every time one of you nitwits posts a conspiracy theroy.

http://uddi.microsoft.com/about/FAQshutdown.htm
December 20, 2005 Microsoft is telling techs the Premium Standard is a minimum for Vista Aero.
http://www.intelliadmin.com/blog/2006/12/microsoft-releases-requirements-for.html
These are absolute minimum requirements, and our testing here shows that to be productive in any way you will need to meet the Vista 'Premium' requirements:
-1 GHZ Processor
-1 GB of RAM
-A DirectX 9 Compatible Video card with a WDDM driver, 128 MB of ram, and 2.0 pixel shader
-40 GB of hard drive space
Even with the above specs, you will still feel Vista is sluggish. At least 2 GB of ram will make things much faster.
January 12, 2006 UDDI publication ceased.
January ??, 2006 Vista Windows Vista Premium Ready PCs Campaign becomes a two-sticker campaign ( or Windows Vista Capable ) to enrich Intel by dropping their qualification standards for Vista.
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/windowsvista/buyorupgrade/capable.mspx
This is what you had to do to be a proper customer to Microsoft after the techno-bait-and-switch:http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/windowsvista/buyorupgrade/upgradeadvisor.mspx
Question: Why would Microsoft principals want to drop the qualification standards for anybody unless there was a compelling financial reason to do so? What benefit did it bring Microsoft? And if there is no common sense financial benefit to Microsoft?
Such a move as performed by Microsoft by dropping the performance qualifications to allow Intel to market a very large number of their Vista-incapable graphics chip sets as Vista Ready is so obviously fraught with risks charter, fiduciary and judicial principles, one has to conclude that, given no financial advantage to Microsoft, one can assume the act was involuntary on Microsoft's part.
In other words, somebody at Intel has a picture of somebody in Microsoft management and a dog we all would rather not have to see.
Well, in my world, the only thing that would get you to do what Microsoft did for Intel is if somebody had and promised to show the pictures of "our" last little strategy party to the world and me and the Poodle in the throes of kavorka-fueled puppy love was the hit of the party. Not good public relations for a corporate management culture toward instilling a general appearance of "soundness" IYKWIM.
(By the way, you may notice this will mark the point in the timeline when I shoved this post over the opinion line about as far as you can see. All I know is speculation and association but you're going to have to explain the trends if you're going to contend.)
Large earthquakes start as a "letting go" of wholeness on either side of a dividing line. People call them "faults". The same image can be drawn within a corporate population as a monolithic and homoegenous rock.
A tear across the surface of least resistance will cultivate between the populace who won't cross an ethical line and those to which ethical lines are imaginary boundary. When the impending tear progresses, you see or can sometimes project what path the good guys will take and which path the bad guys think will work.
Perhaps with time there will be those who don't intend to be found helping a lie perpetrate and there are many effective ways for discussing things in this present electronic age.
So the future is all a tither.
Alot has been said and there's more to look at. These are my opinions and impressions and if you don't understand the world of SCADA, don't sit and curse me. Learn something about distributed computing in some form before you start blathering about what one company has done and another hasn't.
Why this focus on UDDI? UDDI seems like an intimidating subject or concept, but it will give you, as a novice, a foundation for perceiving just how architecture determines how data and commands in a system will be handled and why some ideas are elegant, some are close-but-no-cigar and some are dogs-stepped-on-by-ponies.
UDDI also acts as a marker to correlate other events so a general sense of the direction a technology is headed (or not headed) can be mapped out before the common man finds out (if ever).
Think through and come up with a refutation of what I am saying.
So enjoy what you will but do your own thinking and compare what you know to all that you are considering. Make sure you're honest about what you see and how you're portraying the defining area and volume immediate to that fault.
Don't find yourself having to ignore the full range of a subject and limit your understanding about a particular uncomfortable subject.
Don't be slavish to a view you are supposed to take based on an industry view, associations, avowed principles or issues hampering the considerations.
Think through. Work toward the most likely concept of future goal, regardless of limitations. Compare that emulation with the possiblilities suggested with the real picture and decide if the delta (the amount of change necessary to achieve the goal from present state) is possible conceptually (are you able to describe a scenario that starts at the present situation and can demonstrably follow a path that logically could happen to get to desired or above goal) or is simply a wishful thought (the resources or path to obtain enabling resources doesn't exist or has no chain of resources could make up the perceived gap from here to there).
Anywho, Have fun and we'll compare notes with each other on the other side of MIX08 or better.

Jump to msg. # But Seriously, Folks.
What I see of baveman's material indicates the next (and primary) phase of VCSY integration will be (is being) performed on Inetpurchasing. Inet had a hive computer (pyfarm - sandstorm) a large multiple parallel processor built from off the shelf (OTS) processor modules. The machine was located at the convenience and goodwill of Inet. Time frame around 18 months ago - bave will have to check my time but the words are clear.
This indicates a steady growth into another vertical (pardon the pun). Government financing and purchasing - this is where the security effort is needed most (as if security efforts are ever needed any less anywhere - but the human beans must have their ROI justifications).
NOW Solutions grew out of VCSY's core technologies gluing the existing suite of ROSS Human Resources applicatons together and then adding Enwisen suite to the functionality. emPath is the software doing the gluing.
Indications like cacti on the desert plain tha empath is making the rounds outside the hospital - same for focal point engine.
So where is our money? Everyone and his brother seems to be ripping us off and we do nothing? I don’t get it? All because of lawsuits? It seems like this saga will never end.
Anyone else notice how mirrorboy immediately disappeared after we overthrew Wade? Poof! Who was paying him? Follow the money. I’m pretty sure our attorneys are.

Portuno has been completely discredited by VCSY's own management and has been under legal scrutiny for penny stock pumping. Be careful when reading anything Portuno says. He does not have a technical background.
Mirrorboy lied about Vcsy over and over for 20 years day and night, night and day then POOF! His job was to keep new investors away for someone else scooping them up for cheap.

An Email from Dan:
This keeps getting TOSsed from the Yahoo/Microsoft board.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Does the firing of CIO Stuart Scott signal a VCSY settlement?
On the same day(Nov 2nd) that VCSY and Microsoft were in a hearing over the lawsuit, Microsoft fired their CIO Stuart Scott. I can't see them firing him if they planned to let this go to trial, he would ultimately become their worst nightmare as a VCSY witness if it went to trial. IMO.
Does that mean we should hear of a settlement? I would think sooner or later. The whole idea of firing Stuart Scott is to keep the top guys in management out of the suspicion and you set the new guy up to take the fall.
That's why I(Port's view) think it's like this:
If I was Ballmer I would let the lower guys on the totem pole in the company carry out the plan and then have a way out when the lawyers said the discovery wasn't going to be going Microsoft's way. The top guy would be the CIO in charge of new technology and that's what Scott was. Markevich was the guy in charge of the Microsoft infrastructure and Scott was the guy in charge of new technology in Microsoft for using before it went out to customers.
So everybody below Scott would be using VCSY technology and only Scott and some engineers and laywers would know. That way Ballmer could wait until the point in the case where the lawyers said "we're not going to be able to beat this" and then he could fire Scott for some company "violation" he got conned into and poof the trouble would go away.
What would Scott say? Ballmer could say they found out he was using VCSY technology and they got rid of him the most unembarassing way they could and then he could tell the lawyers to cut a deal.
"Keeping people quiet" never works. You have to "Keep people stupid" and then cut their throats when the investigation gets too close. Poof no problem.
-------------------------------------------------
...fired November 2, 2007 with only explanation: "fired for violating company policies".
Odd.
The one guy most central to any discovery efforts in VCSY v MSFT fired on the same day a ruling was to be given on the discovery phase of VCSY v MSFT.
Very odd.
Microsoft put out a news article about Scott taking on co-CIO role with Ron Markezich December 5, 2006. One day before VCSY returned to OTCBB from SEC delisting. Patrick Tinley, CEO of CDC/Ross was fired the same day.
Scott had left GE and taken the Microsoft position July 2005.
VCSY was cleared by SEC investigation begun December 1, 2004 - one day after VCSY was granted the 6826744 patent.
Very very odd.

Actually, Beach,
The day VCSY hits a dollar the volume will be well over 20 million shares and there will be thousands of investors buying VCSY on that day.
My friends will say to me, "Why didn't you tell me about this stock?"
Actually I got fed up with having them snigger at me years ago when I recommended VCSY when it was selling for less than a cent. Once over two years ago I bought 270,000 shares in an AON bid at a half-cent after it took three days to fill. That was the "ask" price then.
I've mentioned before about the guy who TOLD ME about VCSY in January of 2000. He bought quite a few shares but a little over a year ago he sold them all because he did not like the way they made his portfolio value unstable. He looks at his portfolio value several times a day. I look at my portfolio value several times a year so I don't notice the fluctuation.
Next week this good friend will be crying in his beer but it won’t bother me. I’ve suggested several times that he buy back in. I’ve told him everything that is going on with the Company. Lately I have been telling him about the coming trial. Now I am telling him that the trial is nearly over.
He doesn’t care; it messes up his bottom line. I really think he may have a touch of Alzheimer’s disease now. What excuse do the bashers have?

Name: "Does that make me crazy?"
I like it here, it gives me the feeling that I'm not crazy, or maybe I am but that I have some company just like me. I keep telling people poop has hit the fan and we're gonna clean it up with little vcsy but no one listens........so at least if I'm in here with you guys nobody can give me dirty looks for trying to show them a little light. See......? I feel the internet is tired and needs a lift, or maybe someone needs to kick the extra weight off so we can all function properly and drink and be merry with the possibility of the way things can be, without corporate culture holding small companies and people down because they have resource and we don't have access, but not anymore my friend, time has come to extend the power and favor to everyone else so we can all work with equal strength to so what we're all really capable of. VCSY is the quantum field of the internet, unifying everything so we can understand and function more harmoniously. I'm read something of Hermetics, "Man is not at all different from his creator" not "Man should bow down to his creator". VCSY is just the technological analogy of Hermetics for me. Grant the small parts equal strength and everything has purpose and place, and everything is in harmony that way and in this unity there is no push comes to shove anymore, because after all who's pushing and who's shoving at that point? Its an idea whos time has come, and rightfully so, MS and others have been c:!###ing things up for years (c:!######### many moons) with their bull$#!@ ethics, thats its time to see what the little people can do when you give them their god given right for freedom and power to create. Its like the common genius, connect yourself to something greater and make yourself equal to god, and the truth is we're one in the same.
Whilst I can understand and agree in principle with the Oprah's Secret Path in us all I must stand up for the almighty who I'm sure has his feelings abused about right now.
'Lo and behold I cometh quickly and any cracker don't have a bonnet better get a bucket.'
Nevertheless thanks for the stream of consciousness and the opinion graciously allocated bandwidth - the management
And to think I held a finger over the button to oblivion as I perused your comment. And then I deigned to grant it residence for all backup eternity in electronic form. And no doubt you pushed the buttons and all. Did real good until you had to go recruit troops to the dark side. Oh well. Life is lumpy and light is good. Better have some in the neighborhood. Cuz GrumpyGod is coming to town.

From comments to this:
http://www.microsoft-watch.com/content/web_services_browser/cloud_manifesto_is_microsoft_afraid_of_rain.html
portuno_diamo :
These are from a "cloud manifesto" on wikipedia:
1. User centric systems enrich the lives of individuals; education, communication, collaboration, business, entertainment and society as a whole.
2. Philanthropic initiatives can greatly increase the well-being of mankind.
3. Openness of standards, systems and software empowers and protects users.
4. Transparency fosters trust and accountability; decisions should be open to public collaboration and scrutiny and never be made "behind closed doors".
5. Interoperability ensures effectiveness of cloud computing as a public resource; systems must be interoperable.
6. Representation of all stakeholders is essential; interoperability and standards efforts should not be dominated by vendor(s).
7. Discrimination against any party for any reason is unacceptable.
8. Evolution is an ongoing process in an immature market; standards may take some time to develop and coalesce.
9. Balance of commercial and consumer interests is paramount.
10. Security is fundamental, not optional.
As reported by Mary Jo Foley, a Microsoft representative won't comment on whether these points are in the top-secret "cloud manifesto" Microsoft has been asked to sign.
I thought everybody said nobody can keep a secret?
What kind of power is behind a document that prevents Microsoft’s Senior Director of Development Platform Management Steven Martin from speaking?
One would have to ask Steve Ballmer which of these 10 tenets Microsoft finds so onerous. There seem to be quite a few in there that have run counter to Microsoft's demonstrated way of doing things, so I would have to say "all the above".
I would caution Mister Ballmer to use a rare better judgment and sign what he can see.
It's the things one can't see that end up bringing nightmares into the barn.

From junk …Vcsy-chat board
Well gang, I have some good news to report. I talked to JQ Friday night and he said the same thing Jim Salz told me a week or so ago regarding Wade. He said it is pretty much a forgone conclusion that Wade will lose his appeal and lose his shares. This should all be wrapped up by October / November or so.
More good news regarding Farias. Farias is now starting to realize that he is not going to be able to take money from NOW Solutions anytime soon. There are some negotiations going on behind the scenes, but it’s starting to look like he will be settling out of court instead of going to trial. We should hear more on this by the Fall. We don’t expect this to be done until after Wade loses his shares, but JQ says both of these matters are now starting to look like they will be resolved before the end of the year. He is certain the stock will start trading again no later than early next year. He even alluded to them perhaps starting to be traded again even earlier than that. His exact words were: “2023 will be our year!”
I’ll pass along more news as it becomes available. Keep the faith my friends! Cheers!!!.

James must have been scammed ? by Wade and Mills who was / is also a lawyer. Who knows anymore. No one tells us lowly shareholders anything. What ever happened to Jonboy? Remember him? What a joke. I guess the jokes on us shareholders. THUMP!

Prior to that he was a senior systems engineer for Bank of America. Mr. Valdetaro is a graduate of Catholic University, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil with a BS in Electronic Engineering and an MS in Systems Engineering.
He’s still cto last time I checked
Yeah. How did he not know?
So you think they’re giving up on Ploinks being used for Social media etc and concentrating on space? Or just another example of what Ploinks could be used for? They’re going through a lot of trouble with these court cases for something. All we can do is hang in there. I wish I had your phone number doc. Any way I could get it?
Who knows! THUMP!
Oh great. We’re another day late. And a dollar short. What next?
Lol No. Can’t remember shit.
I forget. CRS
If you ask me his trust was all set up as a sham. Looks like the Judge had seen that too. Now maybe the J D will indict him/them . Get er done Judge.
R we there yet?
Save it.
Yeah right mirrorboy. Nice try. Who paid you? Farious?
Not to mention blowing over 2 mil in employees tax withholdings.
Why hasn’t he been arrested for embezzlement, fraud and theft? Or has he?
Farias had a lawyer.
Wade is said to have blown all his money in strip bars. I look for both to be charged and arrested soon by Feds. Racketeering? Conspiracy to commit securities fraud, embezzlement, theft? There could be more, now that we are digging into their files. I gotta believe Wade will have to forfeit all of his shares. All of them. The entire deal with Farias will be thrown out too imo. Once we hear the Feds stepped in, it won’t be long. These clowns are only prolonging the inevitable. We wait.
Why hasn’t he been charged criminally? What’s the holdup? Lock him up !
Doc. There’s no getting off for blowing over 2 mil in employees withholdings, not to mention already being guilty of fraud embezzlement and theft in civil court. Hang em high Judge! He caused over a thousand shareholders a ton of misery and monetary losses.
Lawyers. THUMP!
KISS MINE!
Why in the hell couldn’t they post an update on our website every 90 days? Why do we need a shareholders advisory board who picks and chooses who they advise and sell shares to based on how well you kiss their okole? This is all beyond belief.
He’s supposed to look at it next week. But who knows? This is getting to the point of being sickening. I’ve just about had it .
Yeah. All for Msft, Len and his men and our elite so called shareholders board Wafj
Where’s J Q with our updates? He’s nowhere to be found. Excuse after excuse after excuse. Anyone think the shareholders board is in on it? If Jq is so busy, why hasn’t one of the other members of the board stepped up and kept us informed? If you ask me, it’s all a bunch of B S. It’s looking more and more like we all need to lawyer up AGAIN! This silent b s has gone on way way too long. I don’t care how bad of shape the corp was in, you don’t treat the shareholders you’re trying to help out of a mess, like this. Something stinks. I smell a rat.
Looks to me like they’re running with the entire Vcsy plan without us. I think we’ve been hung out to slowly die.
Sorry guys. We did our best. Bla bla bla. I figured as much. It seems likeMSFT screws everyone they can, whenever they can. We’re being beat down and drawn out to sell out cheap imo. Maybe .10 a share at best. Once we sell out they’ll run with everything. They’re not telling us anything for a reason. And it’s never a good reason. It’s looking more and more like we’re all being screwed again. Prove me wrong Doc.
