In this month's Upside article about DEC tanking there is a great quote from some Micro-exec-lackey about "strategic partners". Without any shame he says strategic parter size isn't important - roughly, "a 100 person strategic partner will be more important to Microsoft than a 10,000 person strategic partner when the small company is proposing a 100% Microsoft solution and the large company is proposing a heterogeneous solution". Not exactly the same as the Unix market. Peter -- Peter Dufault (dufault@hda.com) Realtime development, Machine control, HD Associates, Inc. Safety critical systems, Agency approval
