Talkback It's easy to take pot shots at extremists on the other side, while pretending to stand in a position of impartiality. Yankee group really need a different figure head if they want their "impartial" studies to be taken seriously.

Talkback Barring any evidence to the contrary (and as yet, no one has been able to produce any with any credibility), the Yankee Group studues must be assumed to be on target. She's Absolutely On-Target. This is truely unfortunate.

Talkback Why does the It industry as a whole insists upon finding the most clueless of its members to provide an analysis? This is much like the tv show cops, or the on-scene news reporter always looking for the biggest redenck there is.

Talkback Get the facts right. She doesn't say she was "threatened". Not here, anyway-- and I happen to think that if she was threatened or harassed she would mention it here. She merely says that she was "called by one of these nut-jobs after 11:00 PM.

Talkback Come on, Ms Didio and the Yankee Group may be bought and paid for, most likely are, but stooping to posting such offensive and vitriolic comment is only playing into their hands. In one thing I agree with Ms DiDio, intemperate behaviour by Linux...

Talkback Well, Linux is superior on the core level to Windows. However, I agree with DiDio in that many Linux enthusiasts go overboard on defending Linux. For example; I participate in the 'Linux Online! forum (www.linux.org).
