PTC took a great product, Intralink, which I think did a very good job of storing and linkig data, and since they acquired Windchill from another company, decided to phase Intralink out and replace it with the monstrosity that is Windchill. The justification for it is PTC rams it down your throat (or, in reality, UP another orifice) by not supporting Intralink anymore, and by making sure you can't go past WF4 without using it. It's supposed to be like SAP (another nightmare - I've used that too) to try and run just about all your business needs.
