Most Outrageous Vendor Lie Ever Told?

Posted by michael on from the dilbert-moments dept.

i8msft writes "CIO published a guide on How To Cut Through Vendor Hype. While light, the article did prompt me to wonder what is the most outrageous lie ever told by a vendor? I mean, in person, face to face, preferably with witnesses (boss, coworkers, someone on your side of the fence). Forget press releases, trade show presentations and the like, where they lie like dogs! Specific examples only, please."

    "Guns kill people." Same case. It's not the gun, it's the person using it.
