Nice article speaking out loudly, what has to be said.

And I can’t even work out what each Spring Source product does and whether it makes sense for me to even consider spending the cash, I quickly get bogged down by solution-speak every time I try to get a quick understanding. Then I saw a notice about Discovery Days, and hey! a day-long seminar which goes over the various Spring Source solution offerings and explains what the hell they are, sounds perfect. Oh, wait, it costs £400. They want me to pay to go to their sales presentation.

Bleh.
