Ditto.

I have been frustrated many times in the past few years by Cognos'
apparent lack of interest in their PowerHouse products (for
whichever platform) and the very small enhancements introduced -
especially considering the cost of support for PowerHouse!

Today I received the following blurb from Cognos - maybe this is
the start of something - I mean actual enhancements, not just work-
arounds - although I'm not holding my breath!

Then again, maybe this is the year to hold a 'Boston Tea Party' of
sorts at the annual conference - like the way the customers 'boo'ed
the managers off the stage at the HP conference a few years ago
(because of the manager's apparent lack of interest in the HP3000
platform)...
