You're widly misinformed when it comes to SAP (edit: reacting to point #2, I agree with the other two.) For specific SAP projects I worked on they had development offices in Tel Seoul, Beijing, Berlin and Waldorf. Another project had development offices in Tel Aviv, Palo Alto and Waldorf. And this goes on and on. It's areally international company, more development spreadout than with Microsoft f.e. Their customers range from Pepsi and Coca Cola. Also, do you know what runs at the backend Apple itunes? What do you think makes Philips' distribution channels tick? SAP always claims that of all the goods being manufactured, shipped and sold across the world passes through an SAP system. That said; SAP is primary a support and consultancy organizaqtion. They spend a shitton of money on R&D and new software development but the last time I read their year report they gained most of their revenue from the very expensive support contracts they sell (but as a big bank who cannot afford downtime they will then guarantee you to have an expert on site within 2 hours yaddayaddayadda) What that SAP dude is doing at HP is beyond me.
