That might work for small ISV's but companies like CA would not go
for it as they slice and dice prices to get a sale.

Of course, this suffers from a number of problems. Such as cost.
The need

"release"). Finding said "trusted third party". Trust is difficult

by today. IMO, if I don't generally trust the vendor, or at least
their
intentions, then I guess I shouldn't get their software (my attitude
towards MS and even Apple any more). Not that it's my call for

Software. Here, it is more about hard money cost.
Marketing your product through IBM Partner World is essential a seal
of approval from IBM.
They have at least tested it and should be able to find any problems
with the product that a customer reports.
Is there any product tracking statistics that compare pre-
Partnerworld and Post Partnerworld sales levels?
