Why should Gartner bother? Others seem to be doing their work for them. Ahem... <g>

Indeed.
ALl of this reminds me of the child's story about the little red hen who wanted to bake some bread. No one would help her prepare the bread but they sure were interested in eating it! <g>
All of us, I'd think, would be far better off taking all the energy we put into discussions like this (particularly the hand wringer crowd... <g>) and put that energy into pushing this product forward.
Rather than death by 1000 cuts, let's make it life by 1001 healings.
Best,

Everything I don't understand must be easy!
The difficulty of any task is measured by the capacity of the agent performing the work.
