stifle adoption, nah. if i understand foster's posting, they're never going to get a straight answer from their customers, nobody will pay, and this revenue stream is DOA. this might be an indication that Crystal Reports and Reporting products in general might be a sunset technology. could it be that Business Objects revenue of their core server products are also threatened? i see this a as a red flag, a possible gasp for financial breath.
