That's what happens when I write quickly!

I did mean to say that it agree it will be a crowded market and that Forte (like many others) could be a problem.

And you are right the tone of my other comments supports this.

On the blind faith thing, I agree somewhat - after all they did have Entera for quite awhile and as far as enterprise development goes the product lines for the AS/400 etc do seem to lend some credence to having some experience in the enterprise area. RE: services they just got some experience with the VSGN people. And RE: direct marketing ditto.

So maybe I see it as having just one eye closed instead of both.

Shane. (and yes there is "faith" involved here - usually good mgt. can overcome the one-eye-closed syndrome but with technology companies it is definitely less certain.)

...but that they seem to be doing it with a blithe naivety that is either super-arrogant or dangerously under-informed.

Would you mind sharing how they are under-informed or naive? Not being familiar with the enterprise software business, it would be something interesting to learn.
