>>A FUD campaign tied to the 'impending arrival' of the 'soon to be delivered', 'answer to all your storage questions', 'that's almost free', and 'never has an error' device just might have enough impact to cause corporate buyers and OEMs to hold off making ZIP or JAZ their storage standard. Once corporations adopt a standard, of any kind, it is hell to try to get them to change to something else. SONY needs to buy time. KE needs to get those commitments.<<

Ben -

Sony is not just one big entity willing to throw all of its resources behind a single product. The computer products division only has so much money and so much leeway.

As for KE needing to get commitments from OEMs and corporations, well, hasn't he already? For well over a year all the major PC makers, including Sony, have included Zip as standard.
