Presuming it to be accurate, there are a couple of considerations that approach misses: * some of today's home/educational/small business have influence over tomorrow's enterprise IT budgets. Indeed, some people are concurrently in both roles, and those are probably among the more knowledgeable. * while there's no profit in committing oneself to support unpaying users, they're still good for one (other) thing (assuming they have a way to provide it): feedback/bug reports. Every time some nobody finds and reports a bug before a paying customer does, you don't look like an idiot in front of the folks that pay the bills. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
