Re: Viewpoint (VET) for OSX? 2004-01-27 - By Andrew Turner
Back
It's total BS.
I've left a message and will be asking them for information regarding their
research provider.
To suggest (to shareholders and potential shareholders) that the Viewpoint
viewer is more predominant than the other entities it mentions is possibly
criminal if it's incorrect. I personally believe it's misleading at best.
We'll see. It's not that I don't want them to do well, it's because they've
essentially burned my investment in their company and have continued to
exemplify what seems to be, to me, exceptionally poor management decisions.
The value of our investment, since April of '98, has decreased by 81%. I
realize this isn't the place to rant.. but since it was supposed to be in a
product I bought, partially for that feature, it's not something I'm
enjoying.
Cheers,
Andrew

would be nice to see where they gather such statistics. when you
pull statistics of from your regular web server, they suggest
somewhat different figures...
