Customer: So I'm using FancyWidget4...
ComponentOne: We no longer own FancyWidget4, we sold that to FancyWidgetCo.
Customer: Hi FancyWidgetCo, I'm using FancyWidget4
FancyWidgetCo: FancyWidget? That's not even a product anymore, we have a product called SuperWidget!
Yeah, let's not and say we did. Instead, how about we take a look at how Telerik works (satire, based loosely on my own experiences with them):
Customer: "I've found a show-stopping bug in RadFoobarWidget1... can you give me an estimate as to when you're going to fix this?"
Telerik: "You're still using RadFoobarWidget1?!? We found a bug in that control, so we rewrote the whole thing and called it RadFoobarWidget2."
Customer: "Uh. Okay. But it seems like RadFoobarWidget2 dropped features that we already depended on in our commercial product release... are you going to reintroduce those any time soon?"
Telerik: "You're still using RadFoobarWidget2?!? We rewrote that as RadFoobarWidget3... It's totally different now, but, like, way way better and stuff."
Customer: "Uh. Okay, but RadFoobarWidget3 has even less features than RadFoobarWidget2 (which totally screwed us), are you planning on fixing that any time soon?"
Telerik: "RadFoobarWidget3?!? That's so last week. Why aren't you using RadFoobarWidget4?!?"
Customer: "Sigh..."
