Because the industry as a whole is a lemming, I expect more vendors to come on board.

Speaking of saying things how has your tech support been with your LMS vendor? The reason I ask, is that for some customers their vendor’s service is getting worse. Some gripes are legitimate, others are suspect (as in it is their issue and not due to the vendor) – but regardless, it is on the rise. Not really.
