I think you mean CHILL..hehe...most of us software types here in Boca have worked for or know someone who works for Siemens. That's not to say I don't agree with your impression, however. (Hope my friends don't see this.)

What I don't understand about this move though is if the rumor is so unfounded, or if true, it's such a bad idea, where's all the money coming from?

"I don't know much about Siemens overall, but I do know that their switches aren't that good. I've been to
Siemens research facility in Boca Raton, Florida, they were still using some stupid language
called COLD to program their switches. Siemens stinks compared with
Nortel (with which I think Motorola should partner, if possible at all)"

A consumer does not care in which language a software tool is programmed. He wants to have a working device. Siemens has a fingerprint recognition system for their handies coming to market in one year or so.
You said you have been to Siemens research in Boca Raton. What have you done there? Did do you work there or did you only look into a room where the programmers were sitting?
Your remarks appear to be very unqualified.

I very unqualified your remarks
