Without wishing to be overly cynical, I'd say those who've successfully 
moved on to pastures new wouldn't respond because they wouldn't keep up 
with this list. I don't think any conclusion can reasonably be drawn 
from the lack of response.

We're looking at buying MS Navision to do MIS this year. If that goes 
well, and does everything we want of it, I would see our Powerhouse apps 
moving towards 'legacy' status, and me abandoning this list and my 
Cognos annual subscription within 12-18 months.
