Yeah, Bob. After reading your initial post, I found myself trying to
reconcile his statement "we don't want to be better, just different" (which
is full of problems in itself) with his statement "we want to be an internet
broker". Christ! What an idiot!

Their apparent strategy certainly appears to be different than any I
have run across:
> Replace a decent product with a new version that is unusable
for at least a year after introduction.
> Piss off your most influential customers with buggy products and
poor support.

becoming a commodity.
I must be missing something obvious...
