Not really OK for me, I think, but I trust you guys to agree with me ;)

My position in summary:

We have 3 products, each with a different primary market:
1) the development platform - target market, ISVs (indemendent application
developers, not necessarily companies either)
2) The desktop - target market, public sector, perhaps the vague & difficult to
target "potential contributor".
3) Applications - we have a bunch of apps that run everywhere, and for those our
target is the Windows hobbyist (cover CDs - get a partnership going with the
OpenCD).

outside those 3 products, with 3 different markets, any effort we expend leads
to diminished returns.

Cheers,
Dave.
