Response Point Launches!
Response Point officially jumped out of the gate today. Officially.
As part of the launch, the product site got a big huge facelift.
Also, D-Link announced a price drop already! $400 off their announced base unit price of $2999 and $100 off their announced handset price of $149. Looks like someone done graduated from the Steve Jobs College of Windshield Repair and Product Pricing!
Also, the Response Point video demos available on the site will teach you the following…
- Office tech guys are creepy, narcoleptic dweebs who can barely whistle.
- Male black co-workers are lying Momma’s boys who look a lot like that cop from Die Hard, who was also the dad on Family Matters.
- Saleswomen show lots and lots of cleavage if they want to be successful.
- Customers are encouraged to be pervy lotharios, provided they double their orders.
- Receptionists are dead ringers for Prissy from the Foghorn Leghorn cartoons and don’t ever know their company’s fax number.
Hey, we’d give you some more substantive info, but we’re still waiting on the hardware to arrive at the Funcave.

Hi Chris,
Your Quanta Syspine demo system should arrive by Thanksgiving, US Customs permitting. We will also have a partner-focused site (www.responsepointpartners.com) with white papers and other materials up by then too.
So if you don’t like our more edgy, customer-focused Microsoft.com site, don’t worry. We’ll have plenty of the dry-yet-informative content you might expect from us on our new partner site.
Cheers,
Jeff

The new RP site is nice, and glad to see Jeff Smith’s note about the partner site. Thanks for the head’s up!

@ Jeff…
Hey man, congrats on RP fully releasing! Appreciate the arrival date info, mainly because it’s yet more ammo I can use to explain to my folks in Ohio why they won’t be seeing 2 of their granddaughters at Thanksgiving.

As long as you crazy kids in Redmond have no problems with the Funcave’s new, edgy Steven Urkel-focused blog posts, then you won’t hear any complaints from us.
Heck, I’m just glad RP wasn’t released with some crappy ass name like Microsoft Miniature Business Telecommunications System Essentials 1.1 R4, Ultimate Edition SP2

@ Silky…
Watch the demo videos, and tell me I’m wrong!
