<vendor hat off>

OK, enough vendor debate and cheap shots on the differences in the
Y2K software tools and vendor business strategies.  I feel it is
totally inappropriate for one vendor to make negative comments about
another competitor's product or business plans in *any* public forum.
Furthermore, in making any such claims you may be incorrect and as such,
subject to legal action for mis-representing a competitive product to a
potential customer for your own gain.

Every competing product has their own strengths and weaknesses. It is
up to the end-user to examine each tool and determine what works best for
their needs.  As a vendor, one should focus on how their product
benefits the customer, not trying to put-down other vendor's offering
because you may be wrong, and how would that look!
