If the 'vendor' answer is done by someone who is 'not speaking for his
corporation'
then his answer is completely useless of course with respect to futuristic
projections.

In short, this was appropriate (and interesting). We've all seen vendor

I disagree on the level. I use the rule that a vendor should never
initiate a thread, only answer someone else question or correct
stupidities. That prevents abuse.
Do you really want to know when I release new software, when I improve
performance or when I have a new marketing material (actually, I don't
have any) ? Really ? Be careful what you ask for, I don't think you'll
like it when every vendors take this freedom. I agree this list has a high
signal/noise ratio, mainly because it's moderated but also because vendors
are usually careful. For example, Microsoft behaved very well when Windows
Cluster got out, and Microsoft is usually at the extreme of the marketing
spectrum :-)
