It also helps make the point that m$ has talking heads and survey and analysis puppets everywhere. My impression is that m$ doesn't have a marketing dept in house. Their marketing dept exists in the form of groups like Gartner, IDC, etc. Make these people accountable and expose their distortions of data for all to see. If we show that they lack credibilty, the sources that do provide accurate info will stand out even more. Then we all gain the chance to be better informed. And the thought for the coming week is... ISO -- the best standards that money can buy. Hey, maybe we should add them to the cred list.
