Doug:
I believe what you're saying. You ought to believe many of us who point
out that we're familiar with partners and competitors who put their
enterprise .NET applications for small businesses on an SQL Server
machine with a single CPU license for $3,500. They run the application
on an IIS server and pay nothing for connectivity because it's all part
of the MS framework. Clearly this is a different scenario from you and
has a serious impact on smaller businesses attempting to "host" their
application, although it appears to have no impact on your business.

HI Bill:
We are replacing a CRM and Distribution system running on Microsoft SQL
Server that cost 10 times what Unidata does. The irony of this replacement
is they are still running Unidata and could never get this software to
running the way their current system does after 3 years. We are migrating
them to the Web using our U2WebLink middleware in just 2 months.
Regards,
Doug

Doug:
Let me point out an alternative perspective. An ISV's job is to sell our
applications. If we can't compete in our business marketplaces, we need to
make adjustments or look at alternatives. Competition mostly means we need
to offer a product that benefits our customers at a price that is usually
less than our competitors. From my perspective, your statement that you pay
"much higher rates for Oracle and Microsoft"
databases doesn't apply to my experiences. In fact, a number of our
competitors use Microsoft technology and have much lower deployment costs in
the small business environment than we do. I'm only saying my experiences
differ from yours on this point, which is critical to our business.
