[OOTB-hive] CE looking bad?

[Andreas Steffan]

I know, Jeff.

Still, this page somehow suggests to either pick EE or forget it unless
you feel really adventurous. And I bet it is one of the first pages
virgin prospects hit. Wonder whether they prefer somebody trying out CE
or somebody running away. :)

Anyways, just saying. I am fine with all this. I am just saying I don't
quite understand where they are trying to drive CE.
