<I just wish you would concede even a single argument that has been presented when it is clear that you are wrong.> YOu have to make the argumetn convincing first. I can't concede when you are wrong. <How about conceding on the fact that the costs associated with switching may make the ability for an organization to switch undoable.> Nothing is undoable. You are truly getting carried away now. Each prudent manager weighs the oppurtunity costs of going with a new system against its benefits and the risk/reward scenario of keeping the present system. If the switch is undoable, how did IBM lose so much business? How are Sun and the other Unix factions losing market share to NT? The end user belives the oppurtunity cost is low enough as to be below the break even point as compared to the weighted benefits of going with the NT solution. Basically, what you are saying is that it is somehow possible to get into Windows with a disparate hardware/software setup, but it is "undoable" to get out. I guarantee you if Sun cut thier prices 80% across the board, a lot of companies will find a way to make the "undoable" doable. RCM rcmfinancial.com
