The reality is that the larger the company, the greater the liklihood that they only want to buy from another large company. This is why the whole market has moved from b2b to b2c. Consumers dont care about who sold them stuff. Big companies generally care deeply. This means that even well funded startups have had a hard time selling to big companies in the last few years. This is why startups are now almost exclusively focusing on b2c. Because individuals have the freedom to think the way Nicolas would like people to think. Unfortunately corporate sales is an entirely different, and much more painful process.
Right on Hank, that's exactly it. As individuals we do have that freedom, which is why I praised SWHX from the start.
Unfortunately the main points I brought up initially were lost in the banter.. I haven't actually rejected SWHX, or given up on it, I just can't see any reason to use it commercially over Apollo. The fact is I'll probably use it a lot for my own little projects (in fact I've already started playing with it).
As I said before, I can see a *lot* of strength in the Screenweaver/HaXe partnership. I just can't see compatibility without HaXe being a focal point in the future. Eventually Apollo and SWHX will drift apart, and due to the nature of my work I will always err toward Macrobe.
