Can't argue with that, except that if you want your products exposed to the
largest market possible then you cater to what your customers want. If they
have vendor X's product and don't want to make the capital outlay to adopt
vendor Y... they will not choose your product. If you are in the business
of serving your customers then you tell them what you can and will do and
cater, not the other way around. BTW Thom Kyte makes a living giving
technical advice not business advice.
