Some of the most vocal members of this forum have dragged their heels like motherfuckers to stop people from upgrading to IDS11 till the very last moment, why are you surprised about case studies mentioning IDS 10? > I followed another link and of course they list any 'success story that > has the word "Informix" in it, so you have to read the article to see > what they are highlighting.
