Hi Graham ;) Just to clarify I wasnt talking about the safe harbor statement (which is really a listed companies version of lacking any form of a backbone or willingness to take any responsibility for what their actions might bring) I was talking about the circular covering in the paragraphs above that.
I know far more people who are dropping Adobe purely because they did exactly the same thing. Some of them are still tied into long term contracts (3-5 years). But once that time is past Autodesk will be in the same position of wishing they had listened more to what their customers actually want , and less to what their bean counters told them they wanted. The only people who are listening at Autodesk are the people looking after educational licences..
