I wish more of your sales force knew that.

On the other hand, you have *working* code that DOES the job, the problem is figuring out how to browbeat your marketing process into making it easy to get that code into people's hands. While ISFC is certainly easier, PVM isn't exactly rocket science, either. I'd rather use your development cycles on something that DOESN'T work yet.
