Communications Week & Burger King...THE REAL STORY!!! I just spoke to our representative in Florida regarding Burger King. He has a meeting scheduled with Neil Folley (quoted in the article). THE REAL STORY: - Burger King uses NetWare in their headquarters location. - Store locations have POS systems tied to IBM midrange systems. - The IBM Midrange systems tie back to 30X mainframes. - Burger King has developed NT applications to replace their exsisting store systems. - They have no experience with NT and do not know how well the rollout of this solution will work. - NO NETWARE WILL BE REPLACED! - Communications Week called Novell for comments at 4pm Friday. The article went to print Monday, after we called..on Monday! - Neil Folley (Burger King) was not happy with the article. He indicated that the article was not focused on the conversation he had with Communications Week. - Joe M. called Communications Week's Managing editor to "discuss" their handling. NOW, THAT'S THE REAL STORY....no wonder people's trust of the press is compromised! -Jon <I personally wonder how much $$$ Microsoft pays for these stunts>
