According to my observations, the problem is also related to responsibility. Usually if a software manager chooses a 'not established' or 'no infrastructure' or 'no support contract' product, if the product does not work he'll pay dearly. OTOH if he chooses a well known 'big name' product and it does not work he can always pass the chip. > We all agree the M$'s good intentions of software working together got the > worst of worst started with a bang.
