Peter,
I think this point is the key, particularly server reliability. The 4D
community can smell when versions are ready - or not. Some of us bit
the bullet and upgraded some of our customers' databases which could
no longer wait but that's just the tip of the iceberg. There is
certainly a huge pool of revenue waiting for 4D once the community is
convinced things are ready. Until then, they can come out with v12,
v13 or whatever and that won't save the ship.
For my customers, the most important aspect with v11 is speed and
scalability. V11 is much, much faster and can handle much larger
workloads than any previous version. That is enough to sell it to mid-
sized to large customers (stability issues notwithstanding). The
others will come along if and when they have no choice, such as new
OSes, etc.
