Well... duh!  You just have to know who they are and find them - *in

I doubt very much it is a platform issue.  It is a scandalously
complicated problem;  having myself written code to federate disparate
data-sources in a 'seamless' [to the user] fashion... they have my

The Devil lives in the details because he is a smart fellow;  he knows
that in the details is where the real power is.  Federating data-sources
is a war waged entirely with details.
