I certainly understand why you think it's naive -- I even think it's naive, and it's my hope. I don't understand how it's dangerous though, would you mind expanding on that? > But never ever expect solutions to be self-evident. I certainly don't _expect_ anything. I just hope that there are products out there that don't need sleazy sales tactics, and let the product show it's worth hope != expectation. i expect to live a life with no shortage of disappointment ;)

Dangerous may be an overstatement, but maybe not: I think what I was really trying to say was something along the lines of: In my opinion, right now in IT, "laypeople" don't have a good understanding of how bad things are in many respects, and how much better they could be in others. Moreover, there are a lot of effective "salespeople" in this space, and all this adds up to what I believe is a huge gap in perception and reality here. So the last thing I want is more belief that great IT comes along and saves us?
