I apologize for my assertion that system requirements do not appear on =
the website.

In retrospect, that was silly of me to assert ANYTHING is not on ANY =
WEBSITE anywhere.

What I should have said (hinted at in my last sentence) is that system =
requirements are not PROMINENTLY listed on the website.

I'd encourage your marketing department to say something like "SQL =
Maestro Group Team for Windows," which would be super prominent, or to =
at least have a system menu item for requirement that is easily =
accessible from every landing page on the website.
