The only perspective I presented for a vendor not cited in the article was my perspective on my own employer, and I made it clear that it was not mentioned in the article. I may be partisan, but I'm trying to be even-handed. Nonetheless, I would be happy to include a sentence or two from a Microsoft/FAST representative or from their web site explaining their positioning / differentiation. But their site seems to try to touch all of the bases without any particular emphasis. Do you have a suggestion? Or perhaps someone from FAST who reads this blog would care to chime in?
