It's our estimate from our own customer base that at least 20% of the users
will not migrate, but will buy and store machinery in every nook and cranny,
giving them the opportunity to run in their current state for as long as
possible, until either Open MPE is made real or they can find another
application package (on any platform) that comes close to what they have now.
