Not to beat a dead horse here but the question I would ask is.

Take the number of companies offering products built on SQL Server or
Oracle currently building versions that run on Informix.

.... and compare it with ...

The number of companies offering products built on Informix that are
currently building versions that run on SQL Server or Oracle?

My guess is that the first number will be very small compared with
the second. And that difference defines the future.

It has absolutely nothing to do with the quality of the product itself.
