Even when the person pointing out the bug says "With out my fix you are nothing!" and says this not just to you but to the world.
Yes, even then, that's the concept of the "VAR" (Value Added Reseller)
:-D
The VAR, even while seemingly "derogatory" towards a product, actually sells and supports that very same product, in a symbiotic relationship that's actually beneficial to the manufacturer, the consumer, and the VAR alike.
The Manufacturer depends on the VAR as both a reseller pushing it's product sales, and as QA testing it's products, and also as technicians in assisting the Manufacturer in fixing problems that may arise in the process. This is a CRUCIAL part of the feedback loop that you simply do not have without a VAR between you, the consumer, and the Manufacturer.
The benefits and the quality you recieve through a VAR are synergistic for all three parties involved, make no mistake, MAI is thankfull for the VAR component, no matter how some percieve it. (as should you be, as they are being critical of a product they are trying to sell to you!)
:-D
This is what a good VAR is supposed to do for you! A VAR who overlooks flaws in a product he resells is worthless, and of no value to you.
