Big software discounts ahead?
,----[ Quote ]
| The 75% license fee reduction smacks a bit of desperation, although note that
| Vendor Y does not so heavily discount its ever-beloved maintenance.
|
| Every now and then, an established vendor panics (this time in the face of a
| looming recession?), and cuts prices in an attempt to go down-market, even
| though the tool itself is far from a commodity. They usually regret it. In
| any event, you the customer will still pay dearly for its customization.
