The Black Box

[James Bondage]

By the way, I have a relative that has worked at Microsoft for over 8 years now. Apparently there is fear amongst her group that the layoff ax is coming (she is a permanent employee, not a contractor). May be attributing to MSFT's weakness lately, indicating that it may not just be the "market" or the European discussion's Balmer was just in that CNN touted today. I work right across the street from Microsoft in Redmond, WA, so I keep my ears to the walls as much as possible. A warning by them may be coming? Who knows? If so, that may help your final swoon scenario..
