Thankx James! Good points...
It would help if we knew what Mrs. Kroes is looking for. I am not sure if her job is to help the customer to get better products or if she has to help companies not fall out of business and make sure they behave appropriately.
I suggest to the politics, that they get TWO “Mrs. Kroes” one for each job. They first internally make up what really matters, then they start to bring the issues up to the public!
Cheers Harry

I just started this debatte few days ago.

As I wrote in my letter, it is necessary to take a broader view in this case, and to understand the implications for all the parties involved. The issues faced by small businesses due to this situation are relevant and I believe it is important that SMEs express them.

Vista shows early signs of being one of the most significant upgrades in many years with long awaited improvements for collaboration, graphical tools and security.

I think that all small companies such as mine – regardless of their business model – should be supportive of a competitive environment, where companies can compete on the basis of market-driven decisions.
