Bigworld,
I think you probably hit the nail on the head with the dealing with the LW FV thing. We can't possibly know what the ramifications of that whistleblower filing with the SEC had on the company. Arny, have you determined anything on action by the SEC, if any? By employment contract the issue must go to an arbitrator agreed on by both partyies, I believe. Are we even at that point yet?
Not that I am making an excuse for MS for I am not happy with the SP status either, however, silence may be of the essence at this time of turmoil.
