The concern that VAR's face that don't make money with InterBase
is not the cost but the support issuses. Can we promise our
users that they will have IB Support?

This is huge in our market, I write for the medical world. Part of
our system is Medical records. If a doctor can not access these
we run into HUGE problems. So Support is Paramount for our
company.

As far as my personal desires, I am commited to InterBase. I have
been for many years. However I can't speak for my company.
