Hmmm - this must be an invitation to me to respond. 
Small customers (at least) see software included in the base as "free" - and 
ISVs like Dave are paddling a barbed-wire canoe upstream to get a sale. Simple 
as that. 
Believe me, I've been in to bat trying to get ISV software in the door, and in 
a lot of (most) cases it ain't gunna happen.
