As a small follow-up, it won't be listed in the WSS FAQ until they can
produce some material on the web site that actually says what it does.

At the moment it looks as if the documentation on the web site is designed
to appeal to pointy-headed managers who like big words that mean nothing and
it's also designed to keep salesmen in work (because they are needed in
person to explain what it really is).

Aren't you glad you (as a non-sales-person) aren't on the receiving end of
that tirade!

Seriously I've worked for a mainframe software company and this
"documentation" looks very familiar.
(Looked at the web site; read the pdf document; didn't read the "strategy"
whitepaper)
