foolish
I do not understand how they can be so foolish. It is exactly the small to medium providers which they are hurting most that should be their primary market. Big DC's can afford to develop their own software and/or look at enterprise solutions. They doubled the price on Virtuozzo licenses, so now I am looking at Sun containers, Xen, VMWare, you name it. People will also start looking at alternatives to Plesk, so suddenly the market looks much better for competing products; Cpanel, Directadmin, etc.
Also, we had made preparations for a large-scale Virtuozzo roll-out, but now, with margins suddenly dropped by 10%, it's not looking so interesting anymore, since the price of a VE has gone up and the price of Plesk has risen insanely compared to the monthly cost of a VE. It's just not viable anymore, so we'll be looking at other products.
