Well said Jeff, I agree entirely. (You also left off .net)
Not to mention too much change too soon.
By the time any technology hits the floor it's obsolete.
Fads.
It seems like no time to develop anything before another new technology hits the
floor.

Also, businesses these days trying to satisfy the investor dollar with bigger
profits from less expense, great if you can do it but do you really want to do
it at the expense of the path that has gotten the business where it is.

No recognition of the fact that "the tighter the squeeze the quicker the
strangulation".
Hey, there's one to pass on to your Financial Controller, maybe even the G8.
