As I understood it, "disappointing" as in a different expectation.
Doron's presentation was more a "marketing" presentation than
a "technical" one. But, as we all know, acceptance of any
Open Source platform, PHP included, _requires_ such presentation
to "convince" management of the value of Open Source.

If I may refer to ApacheCon, we got quite a number of requests
for _more_ marketing and business focused presentations... Sometimes
technical presentation are little more than "preaching to the choir" :)
Also, some developers were curious about Zend and were happy to get
that different look at what is a very technically focused company.

And, as with all truly Open Source projects, the future of PHP
depends on the PHP community and developers :) Certainly, Zend
will be there.
