| The momentum for the Eclipse universal tool platform - an open extensible IDE is really remarkable. Recent announcements from: BEA Systems, Borland, Computer Associates, ILOG, Sybase, Wind River – to name but a few – show that they are all now supporting this platform for developers. If you haven’t had a look at what Eclipse is all about yet – then I suggest you have look at: http://www.eclipse.org - you may find that it is worth your while. If you have any commercial Eclipse related or compatible products – tools or components - we would like to help you market and sell them globally – please contact: harryk@componentsource.com |

| We are often asked what products sell best at ComponentSource. The basic answer is that the most recently revised products tend to sell better than older ones and quite often the third generation of a product - V3.0 - will sell better than it’s V2.0 or V1.0 predecessors for fairly obvious reasons. So when did you last revise your products? Is it over 12 months ago? If so – you are now officially late with your product release – certainly from the customer perspective. Customers expect you to be continually updating and enhancing your products – if you don’t do this regularly – your customers will wander off to someone else who they believe will look after them and their evolving needs better. If your sales are flat or worse still in decline – ask yourself – when did I last revise my products? Or when did I last launch a new product? You could be sitting on a small goldmine – for example there may be hidden $$$$$ in that old ActiveX/COM product audience that you’ve been ignoring!
