[ic] ZdNet Review Of Interchange...

[Steve & Patti Getzinger]

  Having just read the review I would have to say way to go Akopia! Yes there are
some short comings presented either real or perceived but it got reviewed! It got
included with the latest release of Red Hat. These to me are major accomplishments
not to mention the port being assigned to MV. While the review does show low
scoring in areas it does state Interchange is worthy of competing with software in
the multithousand dollar range. I would guess it was balanced against this scale
and not the software mentioned in the article (primary focus).

  I think it's just great it got noticed. ZDNet has to me always been a "Windows
only" staff. For them to say anything to me means they are starting to realize
Windows ain't the only game in town and maybe now we will start to see more UNIX /
Linux software mentioned.
