[dba-Tech] Beating a dead horse?

Peter,
I don't disagree with you in regards to MS, Oracle, IBM and to that point,
just about every other successful large corporation. They have all left many
desolate in their wake towards success. But then I'm not a journalist.

No one or no company is so evil that a journalist should lose their
objectivity. Every product and service review should stand on its own
merits, above and beyond the company that provides it. The lack of objective
professionalism runs rampant in the so called professional technical
journalist field.

I often wonder what the same person would write if X corporation had
released the product rather than the one they hate.
