"Others have answered furiously."
I wonder how many of these are MS software resellers. Isn't that a shame.
"Some of our software suppliers aren't enthusiastic to adapt their software. They wait for enough critical mass in the market."
Well, that's easy for them. Stick their heads in the sand, deny that competition is once again coming into the realm of software solutions, and let others take over. Has it ever ocurred to them that they could CREATE a new market, naw, no new markets exist.
"We demand: 'If you want to do business with us, you have to follow our rules of openness."
This last one though, imagine the nerve. A customer telling their supplier that THEY make the rules. Blasphemy! Injustice!
I also laud their insistence on Open Standards, not Open Source, per se. A certain Redmond company always tries to muddle the water, but clearly stating that Proprietary programs that comply with INDUSTRY open standards is free to compete.
