You guys have lost me in this discussion.

Someone said that only 1 vendor reports in the SEC filings accurately new license revenue versus support revenue.

Do you mean to say oracle reports this accurately, IBM reports this accurately, or some other vendor reports this accurately?

Then you or someone is talking about "if said vendor". Which vendor are you referring to? Received on Wed Nov 30 2005 - 12:27:13 CST
