Hi Preran, I already responded earlier to the horrible news of killing Muse/BC. But today my customer asked what he should do because he received this mail (below) from a competitor. Because of all the discussions and uncertain solution (Spark not being ready) i chose not to pre-inform my customers. This email is aggressive in my opinion. Did Adobe (BC) leak customer lists (URL or emailaddresses) to competition? That would be terrible. Regards, Linda -------- Oorspronkelijke bericht -------- Onderwerp: Business Catalyst Discontinued? We got you covered Datum: 2018-03-30 12:51 Afzender: PlanetXTechnologies Ontvanger: info@garage(anonymous).nl You heard it right!
