    Hi, Steve,

    I’m a customer of Progress, and I wrote up some comments about what this might mean in more general cases (particularly from a customer perspective) over on a blog post (http://kirkwylie.blogspot.com/2008/06/progress-software-buying-iona.html).

    Hope you find it interesting,

    Kirk Wylie
