I have a question though.
With Esri being overpriced, and under functional for the cost, Market
revenue is kind of a misleading research point.
How about money earned per software seat? How about seats sold
period? What about cost per seat vs. income generated?
I know this comes from a biased source (a MapInfo user working for a
"for profit" company) but can't we look at indicators that mean more to
either the users or the people who receive the services, rather than the
posturing of the companies?
