keith.... what many experts? don't understand is the commercial aspect of a product...not saying new technology won't blow away existing technology, but when a large user has a major capital commitment to a particular vendor/supplier it is oft times difficult to change.......along the old lines of "better the devil you know...."... familiarity and ability to maintain without reinventing the wheel is desirable......new technology has to offer more then technology, but a better return on investment for the end user...... giants very rarely fall, unless they are caught sleeping...that's what emc did to big blue, when storage was still a fledgling sector....difficult to dethrone the front runner, unless they fail to execute their plan...
