- The Industry Standard has relaunched as a prediction market and has a prediction on Fire Eagle I find this whole thing totally bizarre. This kind of madness doesn't happen in the UK industry.

Please stay on-topic, informative and polite. I reserve the right to remove comments for whatever vague capricious reasons seem reasonable at the time.
Does seem like a strange comment. It would make me so angry to have my efforts reduced to "scrambling to finish off Fire Eagle to help distract everyone from the upcoming losses"

Yeah, that is sort of aggravating, particularly as it's completely untrue. The project is a relatively small team with a few people around the edges helping us out with stuff. It's the same size now as it was at Christmas and we have no intention of growing either. We had a few delays and weirdnesses to deal with, but basically this whole Microsoft thing has had absolutely no effect on us whatsoever. A couple of weeks ago they were saying we were pushing it out to do something about the earnings report. That was rubbish too.
