I can tell you from first hand experience: It won't work, It was your fault, It will take 3 times as long to do as they originally estimate, It will cost 10 times more than originally quoted, You will never see anything until it is all done, When it is all done you'll see it isn't what you asked for, Your going to still have to pay for it, They'll want to come back and fix it but you'll have to pay for it again. If you decide to sue them, they'll spin off the product to a subsidiary, then dissolve it. Everyone you dealt with will quit the project 1/2 way through and you'll have to re-explain to another even more arrogant staff of EDS newbies. Glad I got that off my chest.
