It is unprofessional to use FUD. The biggest users ever were the old bloated IBM (yeah the company nearly knocked out of business for its arrogance) and even bigger, Microsoft.When someone else announced a product, MS would immediately announce their own implementation with a shorter delivery date. All vaporware, of course.
This they did time and time again, and if the product slipped, MS would slip too, but still just before the other's release.
In this way they repeatedly stole other people's product prospects and sometimes even drove them out of business (eg Netscape) by using FUD as a competition weapon.
And still vaporware years later.
