what do you get for your $800 (plus yearly SWMA)?
My guess would be that RDi will go through a couple versions before people
jump from WDSC to RDi (if price is their issue). At that point you would
think there would be a more significant feature/performance/bug difference.
I think we will be having a feature compare/contract when March rolls around
:-)
The bigger draw is going to be for RDi+SOA I would imagine. I have a
customer that I am working with to determine if EGL should be their web
presense moving forward. They seemed comfortable with paying the $1500 per
developer seat (4 or 5 developers) compared to what their other
modernization paths are in the iSeries vendor space (i.e. having to pay not
only for development environments but also runtime costs - which EGL doesn't
have). This will be an amicable approach for companies looking to modernize
their UI that haven't already invested in Microsoft licensing. Of course
this all depends on EGL delivering on it's ease of use both in initial
development and maintenance.
This forum will be getting a lot of traffic in the coming 6 months :-)

Assuming there does turn out to be no upgrade path from WDSc to RDi, the
first question to ask is, what do you get for your $800 (plus yearly SWMA)?
Or to put it another way, why not continue using WDSc?
