I remember the days of the GAE polls (think that product mgr may be gone now - at least the polls seem to be). An interesting poll would be which is more desired by customers: 1) Cost reduction w/ fewer new features, or 2) Current costs and feature progress. (I would add a third: 10x reduction is "oops GAE email" followed by item-1.) Not a productive meandering, but still of interest (I've more than a few years in corporate finance). -stevep
