WDA & ABAP Objects -Percent of WF'ers using them?

[greg@misiorek.com]

Jocelyn,

i think most people simply expect an easily configurable app that will
leverage SAP WAS workflow infrastructure into a new UI and hardware.
too make it more complex than necessary will turn many users away as they
have have been "spoiled" by Apple and alike.

my 2cents
