You can indeed say you now have "a Rocket in your Pocket" And I'm afraid that this rather exactly illustrates the damage to the products' image that will be done, or has already been done, by this disposal.
How can anyone take a firm called "Rocket Software" seriously*? Sorry, but for me it's instant Zero Credibility for a DBMS vendor. Maybe it's cultural thing and it'll go down fine in the USA, but I think it'll go down like a 'cup of cold sick' in the UK & AUS / NZ / RSA markets On the other hand, maybe we'll get more emphasis on integration with mainstream (= Microsoft) products and less on IBM. For example * MSMQ instead of MQSeries for reliable message handling, * SQL Server for EDA instead of DB2, * Windows Server 2008 the first and principal port of a release, then Linux, then AIX & other niche O/Ses? Regards Mike * OK, I'll concede it might be an acceptable name for a missile guidance software company, but this ain't them -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] On Behalf Of Garry Smith Sent: Wednesday, 16 September 2009 8:28 a.m. To: [email protected]; U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] Rocket Change is a coming!
