UNISYS is getting desperate. It seems they aren't selling as many 16/32-way Windows servers as they thought they would. For some reason companies aren't over-eager to replace their well-established big-iron UNIX infrastructure that processes millions of dollars in transactions every day with with a product that hasn't yet been conclusively proven as being reliable from a company that has little experience at the 'enterprise' level. (e.g. Microsoft Windows 2000 Datacenter. UNISYS has lots of experience there, as well as being, oh, how shall we say it... 'An expensive trap that ties you to an inflexible system that requires you to pay for expensive experts and makes you struggle daily with a server environment that's more complex than ever.'
Remember, this is the same company that quietly waited years while .GIF became the predominant graphics format in the web and then all of the sudden announced that they had a patent on the compression algorithm and demanded everyone pay royalties. UNISYS is a dinosaur whose day has long since passed. They have been unwilling or unable to evolve to meet the needs of the changing business climate. They will soon be extinct. I expect this 18 month add campaign to outlive them. On Wed, 2002-03-27 at 23:37, shane wrote: > "The campaign, called "We have the way out," describes Unix as an expensive > trap.
