… in the courtroom. One of the people who played along with SCO and Microsoft was DiDio from the Yankee Group and she is was quoted a lot by ECT over the years, even in Linux Insider. The same goes for other SCO friends, who wrote entire columns for ECT and also moved on to ZDNet where they pushed the SCO line/talking points. ECT still quoted DiDio last week (spreading FUD about “support” for GNU/Linux, in a Web site called Linux Insider ).
One of our readers, speaking in IRC, …

… out that ECT now accepts not just Enderle as a writer but also SCO booster Laura DiDio from the Yankee Group. She writes about Vista 7′s first birthday at times when Microsoft is preparing a fix for it (because it’s broken, of course).
“And it turns out that ECT now accepts not just Enderle as a writer but also SCO booster Laura DiDio from the Yankee Group.” Going back to the issue of poor Vista 7 adoption, IDG says that enterprises promise to run Windows XP even after its …

… these “ANALyst” companies work”.
It’s not much different at Forrester, IDC, and the Yankee Group. Just like patent lawyers, these people created a meta-market for themselves — one that acts as a tax (recommendation tax) and contributes merely nothing but ‘protection’ from itself. █

… [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ], has been in contact with Microsoft employees and boosters like the Yankee Group since he had lunch with Microsoft executives and shortly later he also visited Microsoft’s and Novell’s facilities. Not surprisingly, Worthington therefore repeated a lot of Microsoft disinformation about ODF and other issues like the Microsoft/Novell deal. They are probably just grooming and using him to spin and to warp the ‘reality’ in their favour, so frankly, he could …

… gun and pointed it at the head of Windows 6.5 and said, ‘Don’t buy this’.”
Citing the Yankee Group, Fortune/CNN writes :
“Microsoft just took a gun and pointed it at the head of Windows 6.5 and said, ‘Don’t buy this’,” says Yankee Group analyst Carl D. Howe. “If I were HTC or one of their other handset customers, I’d be pretty mad.”
There will be no upgrades either, so regular fans of Windows Mobile are disappointed.
Well, what about the Windows …

Back to Back
One of Microsoft’s favourite liars, the Yankee Group, is cited right here in relation to Novell:
Zeus Kerravala, a distinguished research fellow at Yankee Group, said Cisco needs to be careful that its plan doesn’t backfire, recalling how Novell drove away many customers because of its frustrating 90-day reinstall cycle for trial software in the early 1990s.
It is not entirely clear if the following article refers to …

Summary : Jeff Jaffe’s broken link (still available in the CTO blog) shows fanaticism for software patents at Novell; Microsoft’s cash infusion for Novell is running out

… requirements probably encounter an unfortunate loophole here. DiDio happens to come from the Yankee Group, which is a longtime friend of Microsoft [ 1, 2 ] (and foe of GNU/Linux, obviously). The above seems like another very familiar loophole that we wrote about (with examples) before. Often we find cases where an analyst that serves Microsoft is later (or beforehand) given a contract, sometimes a whole job. So the payments are made indirect. As for the actual claims, we all know …
