Uh...ok.  And the difference between a 'business' and an 'enterprise' is?  I 
remember when 'enterprise' was the new word for a business.  That really 
doesn't help.

The arcana of IBM marketing is beyond mere mortals' comprehension.  Remember 
the Magic Box campaign?  The document sent to industry writers that described 
the marketing approach that was full of rules and arcana; nobody at IBM seemed 
to have noticed that the entire thing was stupid and insulting.  And then there 
were the Lotus "Superhuman Software" ads...don't get me started (too late).
