Microsoft PR stuff The local paper ran an opinion this morning from Molly Ivans(sp?) that compared the Gates PR campaign that Brill's Content discussed to King Leopold II of Belgium. Back around the turn of the century he killed millions of people in the Congo by using them as slave labor, while at the same time greasing a lot of highly placed palms in Europe and America. He also wined and dined a lot of respected journalists to ensure that the public never became aware of the atrocities. Interesting comparison. Other PR news - Here's a link to the Robert X. Cringley article that Fred posted: pbs.org And this from the Gartner Group: gartner12.gartnerweb.com With the delay of NT v.5, we expect Microsoft to aggressively push other revenue-generating products. Enterprises should: ignore hype from Microsoft that an upgrade to NT v.4 positions an organization for an easier upgrade to NT v.5, whether at the desktop or server; delay deployment of NT v.4 to take advantage of expected pricing discounts and promotions from Microsoft; and ignore Microsoft's pressure to upgrade desktops to Windows 98 if Windows 95 Gold Release or OSR2 has been deployed (see PC Research Note T-230-1490, 20 November 1997). Good timing. Network World this week has a Microsoft NT ad that states that Win98 is a consumer product, not to be confused with NT, an OS for corporations that have real work to do. So is Win98 the "Bob" for the new millenia?
