I
agree. Back in the day, we sold a time/billing system for law firms.
For the most part, our salespeople were pretty ignorant of the
competition. We went in, and did our presentation, and left.
Lots of our customers told us later that they learned a whole bunch about what
our product supposedly couldn't do from our competitors, and not a whole bunch
about what THEY COULD do. I was proud of our approach.

I
haven't read this thread yet, but here is my issue:
I
dislike management, directors, or CEO's that choose instead of praising their
own product and providing support for that praise, they choose to ignorantly
denigrate the competition instead. I attended a Novell presentation here
about a year ago. The presenter had pictures of Steve Ballmer of Microsoft
changed to reflect him in unusual circumstances. I almost walked
out. Not because I'm close to Mr Ballmer, but because my tendency is to
professionally distance myself from businesses that practice that. I
was unable to make it to the Oracle booth yesterday. But I will try today
(I'll be at Comdex today). Yes I will ask. Yes, I will express my
distaste, both verbally and in writing.
Why? Because I run Exchange. And I run
Oracle. And I run Novell.

I'm not usually a big defender of Microsoft, but I thought this article was a little off-base. Ellison claims that an Exchange Server can only handle 250-500 Outlook users. Seems like a lot of his numbers are exaggerated to me. Thought others might find this interesting if you haven't already read it.
