Re: Informix Software is Finished...

I used Illustra a few years ago ( as applications programmer ) and wasn't impressed at all. About 6 months ago I heard from a friend who just left Informix that Universal Server is in very bad shape ( not working ). Personally I don't believe in superior Informix technology which for some obscure reasons just doesn't sell. What they definitely have are some academic guys who make a lot of noise; out of nothing looks like. Will Microsoft buy it? Well, why should it buy inferior technology? BTW their lies to stockholders is part of the same story: they cannot compete and fix the numbers instead. A few months ago I was stupid enough to take Informix hype seriously ( during their noisy developer's conference ) and bought their stock. Next time I'll know better. Boris Dynin Movil Redmond is one of very few places where one can get software of reasonable quality nowdays. > I agree with this statement anyway.
