Yep. Media's pricing makes it a no-brainer for almost anyone to jump on 
board.  A couple of our products will have a published API soon so for 
the low cost of a Media license they can have access to the internals of 
our programs to write some powerful plugins.

But given what Jacque says, that stacks created with Enterprise can be 
used with both, would it simplify deployment if you made your own custom 
player?  That way both you and your employer could work on stacks and 
you'd be able to deliver them in an environment tailored for their needs.
