I should sue the bastards! I changed my entire strategic direction last year and pushed real hard to cut all of my interfaces over to the M$ Live technology environment, sang the praises of M$ Live to all who would listen, prepared all kinds of technology overview documentation for my clients, gave presentations across the USA on how this would turn my clients' business processes on edge, promised all kinds of cool new things to save my clients money. So, this is the committed thanks I get from M$! Gawd! Another year burned off and nothing to show for it... I know, I will just wait for their Next Big Thing. Yeah, let me try "this other" new & improved kool-aid now... Maybe this time M$ will be telling the truth re: their commitment to their FUD-ware. Nothing new, same old crap. It seems those of us that were around long enough to remember the "Great .Com Technology Explosion" are not being listened to by the folks who pull the investment purse-strings and pay for our services, and viewed as nay-sayers by the new, naive pups coming into the work force. I wonder how many folks burned off a large investment chasing the M$ Live hallucination, and really can't afford to lose that investment. I suppose that is why I avoid being on the "Bleeding Edge", eh? If I tried to get away with this kind of thing, promising features to help retain and gain clients, I would be sued and screwed three ways to Sunday, and rightfully so. There would be no surviving. Yet, who dares to speak against the beast? Then again, this is still quite pervasive in our industry. Vaporware, FUD-ware, promises in the dark ....
