It's generic boilerplate. I seriously doubt that such a generic and shallow playbook would result in any wins for them. My experience is that large clients already have built-in biases and it's almost impossible to sway these clients to try something new for their core enterprise applications.
So if they're already running AIX and DB2, it's practically impossible to convince them to try something else. Maybe for "periphery" or low-risk applications they might want to try something else. One other theme here is that MS is trying their best to convince the buyer that their platform has value in itself. But people don't look at the platform -- they look at applications. Windows Server and Linux are equivalent: what you can do on one, you can do on the other. And I think many large companies have made strategic choices to go with Java and Linux because they don't like Bill holding all the cards. On 3/20/07, Michael Tinsay <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: ..
Considering that it's flash, it may take a while to load if you have a slow connection. It's an interesting sales/marketing tool for MS. IT could also be used by enterprising Linux consultants by using the discussion points and turn it around to favor Linux.
