Cutting the sales force is a good idea...

...when there aren't any products to sell.

"I'd like to introduce you to our Operating System Windows XP"
"Is that new?"
"Umm..uhh.. well, it's our latest shippng product."
"So it's new?"
"Uh, well, sort off, we introduced it in 2001."
"2001? umm, would that be newer than Mac OS X or some of those newfangled Linux thingies?"
"Well, it's a matured product. Can I call you again when our new product ships?"
"Sure...Call me then." <click>
Meanwhile, back in the office.
Boss: "Nice work, Sonny. I just heard from the Windows group that they won't have a new product to ship, I'd like you to take a break. Unpaid. Don't call us, we'll call you."
