Dear all, I was wondering how everybody is faring in the sales department. I just had a negative from a potential customer that said that we came out number one in all respects. The only reason they don't want to move forward is because of the continuing unclarity of the way Spectra will be integrated into CF.
As I understand it sales of Spectra has never been stronger in Europe. Apparently, most of us manage to convince customers by the sheer quality of the package and the fact that there is no credible alternative in the same price range. However, many of us probably miss as many opportunities because of the whole discontinuation story. I'm just wondering: * how are sales figures in Europe now compared to before the decision to discontinue? * If, as I assume, they are in fact better, is this a ground for Macromedia to reconsider the move? * What parts, exactly, will become part of CF and how? I think the time has come to put some cards on the table. I won't start crying about the whole frustration of it all. Believe me, it's there. What I would like is some input. Raymond, is there nobody at Macromedia that is looking at sales figures and sais "hmm, that's funny"? Is there anything we can say about Spectra and Cold Fusion that is not shrouded in maybe's and diplomatic evasion? I'm not sure I will be at the DevCon. All the anthrax and bombing stuff is a bit scary. Otherwise I would love to have discussed it in person. That's why I put it to you now. Just to make sure: this is not one of these bash Macromedia and Spectra mails. I'm genuinly interested in answers.
