By exact opposite, I meant: You're going to have to purchase and maintain the infrastructure. Cheating by offloading the purchase and maintenance of hardware while charging based on utilization of the hardware is doomed. (And also rather rude.) Increasingly, customers don't pay for software, only services. The more service you provide, the more customers will consider paying. -- "XML is like violence: if it doesn't solve your problem, you aren't using enough of it." - Chris Maden -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
