RE: Informix business grew by double digits in 2006 (Q1+Q2)

Informix was married to a WRONG husband! Divorce would be the only choice to get better life! I do not understand why SUN, HP... missed the opportunity, what a loss! ....I agree On 9 Aug 2006 11:13:51 -0700, eric@herber-consulting.de <eric@herber-consulting.de > wrote: Tambi Dude wrote: > Adam Tauno Williams wrote: > > Hooray for IBM!

I think it would have been much better if HP or EMC would have bought Informix. Unfortunately in 2001 those companies where not as much interested in software than today. I think that both companies would have done a much more professional marketing for Informix than IBM does today and they would perfom TPC benchmarks with IDS. Unfortunately we have no time machines yet and have to live with the situation. There have been a lot of promises regarding Informix Marketing from IBM in the last months and you know: hope dies last -:) _______________________________________________ Informix-list mailing list Informix-list@iiug.org http://www.iiug.org/mailman/listinfo/informix-list
