Wow, you go to keynote speeches to listen to "marketing" types? And also
believe what they say? :-) You got to be kidding. No thanks, I stayed at
the booth.  As it seems neither one of the above mentioned marketing
guys knew what he was talking about.  I wonder why they didn't use the
usual lingo such as "Yes, we know it is a requirement; we are evaluating
the possibility". :-)
