Hi all,

Since the discussion goes about subscriptions and support, I have to add
that the total amount paid for subscription is important, and I have brought
the issue in article I have published on 19 October:

" In the following lines you will see that 45-50% of its revenue are coming
from subscriptions."

The rest of this information can be found 

http://www.tla.ch/TLA/FW/FAQ/2006-10-19-checkpoint-q3-revenue.htm

This is just a fact that could be brought into consideration in this
discussion.

Bye for now,

Hugo, Martin et al

Indeed I must agree that complaining about bad support isn't really
appropriate, but the only thing I wanted to point out here is that
checkpoint frequently publishes:

1) incomplete release notes, by not including all fixed problems in the
release notes;

2) cryptic SK articles ... about "can crash in certain circumstances"

If we pay for support, like we all do since we choose to marry a closed
source vendor, I would like to receive clear and honest SK articles in
return so that I can assess if my environment would be impacted before
upgrading to a release instead of opening cases afterwards.
Opening cases is neither in my interest neither in checkpoints (since
there is no more a per case fee to be paid).

And now I will leave this subject to rest ...

Have a nice continuation of your weekend


Ronny
