Walter,
What can I say?
Brilliant!
And if they walked further to get their information they wouldn't need
to waste all that electricity in the gym.
Even more brilliant!
If only life were like that.
You seem to have a pretty strong argument here, but I'm still not sure
I've got all of it. Who exactly is saying what software should be worth
$12K USD per person? In the UK most people aren't considered to be worth
that!

More importantly, Sage's failure to handle the Web side is news to me.
Sage's Mas500 ERP public facing website was B2B only. A developer has
been working for several years to make it B2C. It may be done now, but
from memory it didn't handle both.
Why is client-server architecture so bad?
Do you really want your data traveling to a virus prone Windows box,
being manipulated by a binary on that same virus prone box, and being
returned to a server?
If the operator inadvertently asks for 4 gigabits of data, do you want
that data manipulated in the memory and hard disk space of the server,
or do you want to push 4 gigs of data over the wire to a XP box that
has the commit charge exceeded because it spending all availble CPU
time/memory running Norton?
Do you not want the ability to manipulate your ofBiz data via any web
connected device that has a browser?
And how does OFBiz do it better?
The discussion was about 1-50 users systems. Today a company with 50
employees may have 50 computers. Where a business gets killed is that
a 50 user license of Mas500 will be approaching the upper half of a
million dollars. So then they come back with "remove half the
computers to make it affordable". Their point is that it should be
worth $12K USD per person for software.
That makes sence. Remove computers. Make people walk farther to find
information they need.
