I am in product management.  I am asking for your input in the following scenario:

I am a potential customer and you are a salesperson.  You are trying to sell me a product that is X based (motif to be specific).  I am looking at another vendor who offers the same product, same functionality etc. except it used Microsoft Windows.  

My questions to you are:  what can I gain by using/buying an X based product?  Why should I buy a workstation when I have a PC?  Are there any strategic benefits (both long and short term) to using X?  Performance issues?  I think you get the idea as to the type of information that I am hoping to find from you.

Also, if you know of any groups that discuss marketing X products please let me know.

Please respond directly to me, my address is as follows:
