How about support and ablity to deliver canned Finanical/GL/HR/Manu applications that run on their backend
IE Oracle Applications, SAP or PeopleSoft... These are the major reasons that Fortune 500 use the Oracle of the world... Not to as a backend to their website...
And remember that most Fortune 500 companys are not in the database or software business, and it would way outstrap their IT dept. to attempt to support custom apps on an non-commericially supported backend....
But, if your making/.2 in your basement, you are crazy to use anything other than an open-source rdbms for cost alone...
The real problem is that Twin Laser Pickups required to be backwards compatiable are used a marketing tool. Like hey pay more for me if you want CD-R useage...
The prospect of incompatibility with CD-Recordable discs has been, until now, a serious issue undermining the introduction
of DVD and its derivatives. The problem involves the change in light wavelength from 780nm infrared used in CD-R to
635/650nm red used for DVD. [For an explanation of the issue, see Hugh Bennett's guest The CD-R Writer column,
"DVD: A Problem Ignored," CD-ROM Professional, Volume 9, Number 5, pp. 106-107 --ed.].
Sensing a strategic market opportunity, Sony Corporation has now announced that it will be introducing two separate optical pickups capable of reading
DVD, CD-ROM, and CD-R discs.
To achieve backward compatibility with existing CD-ROM and CD-R discs, the new pickups employ an ingenious
two-semiconductor design that joins an existing innovative 780nm laser coupler with either a 635nm or 650nm pickup. Unlike
older optical pickup designs, Sony's laser coupler integrates all the components of a 780nm pickup (except for the objective
lens) into a tiny 1.8mm x 3.4mm package small enough to ride as a passenger on their DVD pickup.
Checkout products that carry the THX Select and THX Ultra Certifications... These product have met a specifiction level required by THX with Select being the lower value lines and Ultra being the Higher end equipment...
Then just sit back and let your eyes and ears do the talkin'
It's hard to get excited about specs that were met by AMD/Intel over a year ago... Granted we're comparing apples to oranges, but does the average consumer understand the difference between a RISC and CISC (NOPE)...
How do you respond to the fact that by collect (or hiring someone to collect) infomation about Napster users, Metallica and NetPD may have violated the following clause of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA).
