CAD Development Priorities
One of the big problems CAD companies have in creating their products is managing their development priorities. As a service to the industry, I've created this chart, identifying the most important development priorities.

I'm certain this will be a great help to the major CAD vendors. I bet they wonder what they ever did without me.
P.S. - Notice anything missing?

At a first pass, with veeeery tired eyes, looking at very small text, and until I read it again tomorrow, my immediate thought was the absence of any mention relating to product relevance/market development - customer acceptance and application - and no 'balloon' to ensure validation of these functions!
Some things I'd add are:
Platform/Software/Web(new)/SOA(new)
Platform/Software/Web(new)/browser(new)
I'd also add a UI component. So:
UI/Consistent
UI/Optimized
UI/Easy to learn
UI/Efficient
I might redo the Ecosystem part removing SOA and somehow integrating some. "Social Media" node with things like:
SocialMedia/image/(flickr, picassa)
SocialMedia/video/(youtube,vimeo,cadjunky)
SocialMedia/Microblog/Twitter
SocialMedia/Microblog/friendfeed.
SocialMedia/comunitybuilding (facebook,myspace,spaceclaiming)
SocialMedia/Virtual Worlds
