Licensing costs question

2006-03-22 Thread Gill, Geoffrey L.
I had a very disturbing conversation with someone in where I was told TSM licensing could increase 10 fold. Is IBM hurting for money? Has anyone else heard this nonsense? I could easily see us moving to something else if that was the case. Thanks, Geoff Gill TSM Administrator PeopleSoft

Sometimes competitors start these kinds of rumors on purpose... I mean, if you had an inferior product, it would be a logical strategy to start a rumor that the best product's price was about to be increased 10 fold. Spread this rumor well enough, and you could get some sales. Roger Deschner
