Gartner will say anything you PAY them to say. They don't give fig for what the facts are or even what the customer thinks. When customers start bitching because Windows 2003 server is too costly, MS pays Gartner to pull out another Windows TCO study proving otherwise. I don't know of anyone in a position to make a decision (even among the droids of State Government - with whom I'm very familiar) who believe a word they print, or would give them the time of day to answer their surveys. The only "Decider" that Gartner gives a rats ass about is the one who decides to hire them. They know why they were hired. They know what they are supposed to do. They do it with out blinking. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
