Divit's good at choosing his citations out-of-context. The Register piece was fundamentally pro-Zander and pro-Sun.
Note the not-at-all subtle parallel drawn at the end (in the part that Divit chooses to leave out) between idiots who doesn't get Zander and idiots who think "Itanium is going to change everything."
Let's compare integrity levels here between Zander and Divit. Duh.

That's partly, no mostly, why we love {Zander}.If you’d fielded asinine questions from CNET grunts for ten years, you'd be kind bored by now, too. In fact, we were beginning to feel that he was being hard done by. For Zander's the kind of grifter, the kind of field-focussed organizational nut you need to keep things going in a recession. He wasn't being appreciated here, and he didn't appreciate not being appreciated.
Especially not by a bunch of milksopped MBAs who'd never sold so much as a pencil between them. (We're going by body language, here - bear with us).
Zander slipped through a back curtain, and the analysts turned to weightier matters.
"You know, it's all about commoditization, and Dell started all that," one analyst told us.
Really?
"Yeah. You look at memory prices."
We promised we would.
"And Itanium's going to change everything. Don't you think?"
We made our excuses, grabbed a coffee, and fled.
Capitalism is in safe hands... |
