To Windows Hosters:

We've been developing a little something at our firm, and its almost done.
I won't promise any dates like the other vendors, but I would like to get some
information from you on how to make it better.

The questions below are just something I came up with to start as a base, but please
add any other features/ comments that you might have.

A PDF of the PowerPoint presentation is available at
http://www.anantsystems.net/projects/pyramid/PyramidPresentation.pdf (1.6mb, lots of graphics)

"a" site is up at http://www.pyramidcp.net/ , but i'd wait a couple of days for the new one to be up.

If you are interested. Its very basic and includes a brief overview of the product.


This isn't a product offering , just a survey to get your feedback.
Email any questions to me directly or to info@anantsystems.net

If you like what you see and would like to help with the pre-release testing,
please let me know as well.


Thanks in advance for your time,

Rahul Singh
Anant Systems, Inc.
