Yes, but the evidence is anecdotal and resistance at Fortune 100 is spotty. All those CIOs ask not to be named when it comes to big Co's. Keep in mind that an Armada of lawyers is waiting for the outcome of DOJ case, plus AG of CT and IA are standing by with a big class action crowd on the States level comparable with tobacco rip-off. if there is a money to be split, it will be split. That's why I always maintaned that it's not gonna be me or you who keeps pathetic attempts to educate public=CIOs, it's gonna be lawyers who'll trim down our friends from Redmond lead by Mr Gates and Dr Ballmer :) I don't imply that education is bad, just keep in mind that there is no big difference between institutions be their name IBM, MSFT, SUN ... anybody remembers how Apple behaved when its installed base was much bigger in past? Anything that gets institutionalised outlives its purpose, the question is when... Few are able to truly reinvent themselves, the rest is stuck in [comfortable] death process slowly spreading their deseases. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
