["I actually agree with you in that nobody or most here, longs and shorts, are virtualisation experts.

And definitely in terms of tech wouldnt listen to anybody EXCEPT companies that actually are in the business. I think Microsoft is, And thats why most longs are here, because they have seen or heard from MSFT execs as well as Novarad execs and many other experts in the industry. I will happily pull up the long list of quotes again from all these, they serve as an excellent reminder. Good point!

On the other hand, who do the shorts cling to? Some obviously disgruntled former employee whose contract was not renewed, sitting in Iowa with no apparent job and not elaborating on his tweets? Really? So which one objectively outweighs the other??

Feel free to answer.

So, so if you ask me not to review your "critical" or negative stance in light of all the positive statements from experts versus what you seem to cling to seems ehhhm... close minded at best!"]

1) The message you responded to has already been deleted (and for what, by whom??), that seems to happen a lot. I've been reminded again and again why I didn't like this forum and only showed up after a year or so.

2) I am quite familiar with all those quotes, thank you very much. After the year we had there is clearly more to it than that.

3) I'm not convinced people are here because of MSFT. MSFT only appeared this year and while their support seems to be conclusive for you, it really isn't conclusive for me. If they come out with more robust stuff I'll be happy and change my mind.

4) I am astounded by this, to be honest. The company has had a really bad year. The stock has had a terrible year. In objective terms, but far more so if you compare it with the giddy expectations of a year ago, none of which really materialized and that doesn't warrant the most minimal critical evaluation?

5) I don't know whether Keen is disgruntled or not. What I do know is that the picture he painted (well, only alluded, as it happens, tweets have their limitations) explains far more about the past year than anything else I read anywhere, and considering who he is I was stunned he was swept under the carpet here just like that. That was the reason I came back here, as it happens.
