Frankly, EnterpriseDB is small enough and I have enough PR influence that I probably could have intimidated them into doing the right thing if I’d squeezed hard enough. But the amount of squeezing evidently required was more than I felt comfortable with.

EnterpriseDB’s prior management team had the usual mismatch between marketing claims and reality, but I take that in stride. They were on the whole good guys. But I suspect the new ones don’t value individuals — e.g., individual customers — enough to be good business partners for enterprises.

I know that’s vague, but it’s all I intend to provide.

OK, but are you going to divulge the nasty bits? Or are they in a post I can’t find?

It’s all about the solid state anatomy

I have now put together a slightly more considered piece, drawing on the thoughts of people in the blogosphere and on various on-line forums. This can be found at:

Thanks for noticing the typo in my original piece.
