"Enterprise ready" is nothing more than a marketing perception. You could have the coolest product in the world, but if it doesn't have the marketing behind it, it clearly isn't "enterprise ready" Take a good look at who uses the term "enterprise ready". Kernel hackers don't, IBM and HP do. > > Tyler, Jason and rest of list, I'm actively seeking companies to approach > for white papers and ideas for getting BSD into non-technical magazines (or > technical magazines that rarely cover BSD).

You may want to google for the 'Four P's of Marketing', and then try your best to apply BSD to each of them. (One of the P's will seem it a bit out of place.) I don't think anyone is going to take any TOC study seriously. TOC studies have become meaningless and they don't buy long-term perception. Today every company can easily find some crack-head who thinks one product is better than the other. take care everyone Sunny Dubey _______________________________________________ BSDcert mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nycbug.org/mailman/listinfo/bsdcert
