Nice title.

I would pick Ocz over most others, hopefully they wont get too concerned about making investors happy and keep making quality product.

I waited 2 extra months just to get OCZ GX 500DDR 2GB over the flashy Corsair XMS 2GB with cas2.
Powerstream 600W is my king too.
Will wait a year and get their next 4GB

i really hope they keep their excellent customer service and small busness mentality. Atleast thats what i got from them when i was having problems with my memory.

That would suck if they changed to a company that only thinks about investors instead of their product quality and service.

Companies nearly always sell out once they have share holders to please, I'd be surprised if OCZ were any different.

My experience is that when companies float, the company unergoes a "streamlining" to help cut down on fixed costs, hoping thereby increasing the dividend yield.

I *pray* that this doesn't happen in this case, the online support and 1:1 emailing I received from OCZ was nothing short of a miracle in this age of "lets-forget-about-Joe-Punter-now-we-sold-him-our goodies" I have never experienced anything like it or since. It is the primary reason I originally went for, bought the OCZ name. I cant think of many companies that I have dealt with that offered a darn good product but backed it up with *real* support.

For all those worried - buy some shares then so you can have a say in how the company is run.

Title was brilliant, guys

How would someone from the US purchase shares in a company who would be on the London exchange? Would it be just like buying shares from the Dow of NASDAQ?

They may not have launched yet. There doesn't seem to be any buzz on their own site about it...
