Phil: Although this is a U2 specific list, the same pricing problem exists with ALL mvDbms products. In addition knowledge seems to be locked up and there are so many proprietary solutions to simple problems.
Developers often have to pull teeth to solve some basic problems. Every business problem requiring an mvDbms solution seems to entail a steep learning curve (kind of like Linux and networking). Since the mvDbms vendors aren't interested in long-term revenue but in short-term profits I doubt whether this will change. So, in the long-term we'll all have to migrate off of the dbms (or die first). :-) Bill > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Phil Walker > Sent: Wednesday, February 16, 2005 5:18 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: RE: [U2] uv pe > > Questions: > > Why can't end users access the knowledgebase? > Why isn't their developer versions of the U2 products, as it is the > developers you generate UV license sales, not IBM? > > I can pay $900.00 NZD per year, and get a copy of MS Sql Server 2000, MS > Exchange, MS SBS, 10 CALS for MS Professional XP, 10 CALS for MS Office > 2003, Sharepoint Portal, MS 2003 Server, MS 2003 Web Edition all > to use for > demos or in house to run my business. > > Some people may wonder why you would develop something in U2? > > Cheers, > > Phil Walker > +64 27 5336294 > +64 3 3120352 > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Gnosys Consulting Limited > 25 Roscrea Place, Mandeville North, RD2 Kaiapoi, North Canterbury > 8252, NEW > ZEALAND ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
