Not interested in a pissing contest. I did actually read your white papers before I posted, I'm one of those RTFM junkies
You have some very impressive features, and it does seem like a strong offering... one of the reasons we built our own is we didn't see the flexibility we needed in either MAS or CARMA... but nothing I've seen in your application would cost me anything close to a quarter million dollars to reproduce, and actually, with the exception of global load balancing/clustering and transcoding video into a bazillion formats, I haven't seen anything that our version 3 CMS spec for our own content system won't do. I have managed some pretty large software development projects (before I was in this industry) so I do have some idea what's involved in coding this sort of application.
Honestly, I'm sure you have a really good product, and actually I wouldn't mind seeing a demo. And if you really do have an affiliate management system that is on par with NATS or MPA or ExecStats, we would be VERY interested in looking at that. I just hate hyperbole, and I can't, as a software project manager, imagine asking anyone with a straight face to give me a $250,000 budget for development of a CMS, no matter how sophisticated it is... but as someone said, if you're getting $1800 for logo designs, you can probably get the same customers to spend $30,000 for a $3,000 piece of software... so hey, if you can get it, more power to you
