RE: Installation Woes IDS 9.4

Posted By: Mike Badar
Date: Friday, 13 April 2007, at 9:30 a.m.

In Response To: RE: Installation Woes IDS 9.4 (Mike Badar)

Greetings,

OK, maybe I haven't had enough coffee this morning. It took me 15
minutes to find the link to IBM's site where I could download a trial
version of IDS; this is the route I took:

Home page
--> Resources

--> Online Informix Resources

--> IBM Informix Sites

--> 1st bullet under IBM Informix sites

I hope there is a more direct way to get to:
http://www-306.ibm.com/software/data/informix/downloads.html

In my opinion, if we are trying to encourage people to give IDS a road
test for free, the convoluted traversal of links to get to the IBM site
is unacceptable. Why not put a "big" icon on the home page that says:
"Try a High Performance OLTP DB server for FREE!"

I want IDS to prosper. The above process does not bode well for swaying
users to join the Informix family. I'm not trying to place blame on
anyone. I think we can - and should - do better, right?

Mike
