When you say "replace imanager", I take that to mean when cpx gets to 
the point that it has at a minimum, iManager functionality.  Is that 
correct?  So, at what point (date) in the future do you anticipate cpx 
replacing iManager?  You mention 1st half of next year in later 
comments.  Is it safe to say that you expect to replace iManager (and 
iManagerPro) functionality within the next 6 months?  Are you expecting 
to be doing constant incremental updates over the next 6 months?  Or, 
are you planning just one or two major releases?

Now, *these* are the things I'm axious to see!

What about cpx for vps1 and solaris?  Are you expecting to have CPX 
working on those platforms within the next 6 months as well?
