Fair comment, Anne. What worries me, though, is that neither Geoworks
nor New Deal have talked to the seven republisher around the world,
asked their opinions on marketing the new package etc. As a result at
least two of those republishers are dropping out and will not market New
Deal Office, New Deal Lite nor NewDOS. With better communication this
need not have happened.
While one may have different ideas about how to market the package,
surely common courtesy would have dictated that some communication with
the republishers was required?
Frankly I think New Deal have made a bad start and need to take an
urgent look at the reasons that the international republishers are so
unhappy!!!
