I think it was better to find a retail organisation who'd ask the vendors. Anticipated profit is more convincing than 50 to 150 (maybe even annoying) mails from uncertain endcustomers. Here in Germany i'd have a partner, and we are thinking about a commercial software collection plus installation support with purchasable key-enabled installation option for each contained product. This had certainly a better chance if it would have an international base. Anyone interested in participation?
