IW, you are confusing the E*Trade thing with the Microsoft article. Yes, the MS article was dated July 2006, but the article does not boast of anything available at the time it was printed. It says Microsoft is working on something that may be "the way of the future". In July of 2006 Spooz was claiming the same thing. The whole point of my posting the article is to bear out the thought that Spooz is not the only entity affording thought and effort to combining Excel and powerful computing to create a product for the professional trading segment. I daresay, Microsoft and Spooz can not be compared when it comes to resources available for R&D. In that department, Spooz doesn't amount to a pimple on Microsoft's bum. What it comes down to is who gets to market first. That is my point. If MSFT and SPZI are working on anything remotely similar that utilizes a product belonging to MSFT, do you think it unreasonable to assume MSFT will have the edge in resources and brain power? As I said, if Spooz has the goods, they had best get on with it.
