Re: [newbie] Unisys, Microsoft to launch anti-Unix ads
Hi Tim, But since when have facts got in the way of a good campaign? Money wins! Who will hear Sun's response?? 2 Quotes from Kinneth's private 3rd Reich Files: It is utterly immaterial as to what you say, it is only important to say it loudly, aggressively and often, often The greater the lie the easier it is to propagate. It is our greatest strength. I give you Apple's famous ads starting with the Alligators and not topped until the light switch. Every time I see an Apple Ad even today, I feel like rushing out to buy one and end all my troubles! When running a large User Group in my early days - new people used go into rages when they realised that the expensive mono-screened Apple they bought couldn't even run most programs - especially the great free ones! THEN there were the others: people who HAD to justify their expensive mistake. The best Apple sales people of all... - Original Message - From: Tim Holmes [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 29, 2002 7:48 AM Subject: Re: [newbie] Unisys, Microsoft to launch anti-Unix ads What I like is SUN's response: Sun still does not see Microsoft as a real threat in the datacenter market where reliability, availability, serviceability and security are key, the company said.

Re: [newbie] Unisys, Microsoft to launch anti-Unix ads
The campaign, called We have the way out, describes Unix as an expensive trap. No wonder Unix makes you feel boxed in. It ties you to an inflexible system. It requires you to pay for expensive experts. It makes you struggle daily with a server environment that's more complex than ever, one ad reads. sounds like my experience with microsoft.

Re: [newbie] Unisys, Microsoft to launch anti-Unix ads
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.
