[OOTB-hive] CE looking bad?

[Jeff Potts]

Don't waste your energy trying to change how they market enterprise edition. There is absolutely no way they will do anything to lessen a subscription's appeal in their marketing. The best you can hope for is that it is fact-based and not mis-leading.

I like the suggestion of building an OOTB page that shows a CE focus.

At the end of the day, I understand their current model is based on making money from EE licences and that hence, they try pushing towards EE. Still I think nobody wants immature software. Not even for free.
