Microsoft playing the research game... Again...

> Thought this might be entertaining.

So lemme get this straight .. Microsoft commissions Forrester Research to
go out and find a handful of companies (7 .NET and 5 J2EE/Linux) and then
based on interviews, comes up with a theoretical situation where the
Microsoft platform is better?

Why does Microsoft feel that their technology is superior to that of
Oracle and BEA? There are many global 500 corporations rely on Oracle &
BEA .. must be a reason beyond simply cost. (check out oracle.com &
bea.com)

I like the plug for using OpenOffice.org inplace of Microsoft Office.. :)
Perhaps OpenOffice.org truly is becoming the "killer application" that
will get companies to realize that OSS is not only a viable replacement
but in many ways, superior to Microsoft's products.
