So, HP, What Exactly Are You Trying To Sell Us?

Posted by timothy on from the carl-french dept.

billtom writes "There's an article over at c|net news where the normally fawning technology business press actually takes an HP VP to task for the extremely vague statements that usually surround enterprise software 'products.' With some gems like 'That could be boilerplate applying to any company,' and 'But again, how does that differ from what's been around?' and 'But hasn't that always been the goal?'" I'd like to see Charles Cooper interview whoever came up with .Net, too.

    99.999% of all Slashdot postings boil down to one of these five:
    • "That's just a bunch of PHB marketing-speak."
    • "These guys just don't get it."
    • "Microsoft is behind it."
    • "SCO is behind it."
    • "Bush's oil buddies are behind it."

    And so on. Quit calling the damn kettle so damn black.
