I am not predicting the demise of VSI. I discuss the implications of
what would happen _if_ VSI did go bust.

I also guarantee you that many of the managers of the people here are
also asking the same thing (at least if they are doing their jobs).

Ever hear about the extremely negatively received changes to licencing
that VSI have made ? The ones that have the potential to affect the
future of VSI if they drive enough people away ?
