I'll just chip in that I agree too, that Codestore should stay on planet lotus. I have no idea on the conspiracy theories... hehe, I wonder if it isn't IBM suggesting... but MS, who are trying to pull Jake to the dark side! hehe. (attempt at humour)
More seriously though, the days of one product platforms seem rare. Plenty of other things are around that Lotus touches, whether MS, RDBMS, webservices, Mobile Tech, 3rd party system integrations, so there should be MORE scope and relevance, not less, when people are looking at other technology pieces and sharing how they find these challenges.
back to light hearted...
However, given the recent world cup, a more refined analogy (even though I'm not really a football nut..)
I would have thought that, in the Manchester United Context.. it's like Jake being put out on loan to Chelsea / Real Madrid, as they're paying a chunk of cash for his superior skills and they've had trouble scoring recently...but the Man U faithful still have respect for Roy Kean/Bryan Robson/Mark Hughes or someone such, where they're at another club, however permanent, but still know they have some magic to give and you'll still turn on to see their goals.
