I’m not going to reproduce the entire thing here, but I got a kick over an e-mail going around showing how one J2EE vendor deals with customers.

I’d be looking for a job if I treated my customers like that. Wow.

    No idea. But hey, even if he didn’t perform due diligence, he’s a customer — you have to at the minimum, steer him to the documentation without making him feel like an idiot! That said, I think this is a great example of why the some companies are still able to retain customers despite other vendors giving away their product for free — they still don’t understand the art of supporting the customer.

    I think for the $400 million (or was it $600 million?) that Red Hat paid for JBoss, they’ll learn to be as whorish as the two of us. :-)
