Well, there's a world of difference between intention and effect.

As Daniel Morgan said, you might have approached this in a different way. Perhaps you could start by identifying some criteria by which you wish to compare the products: these might be for example scalability, ease of administration, availability of support staff, cost of licensing and support renewal ..... : perhaps even give your own tentative ratings and invite members of each group to comment on what you've written. Even then you're probably going to generate more heat than light. Received on Mon Apr 11 2005 - 11:25:03 CDT
