And anybody with an IQ above 50 can shout Microsoft, Microsoft, Microsoft OR IBM, IBM, IBM or any other phrase. It doesn't necessarily make it better because it comes from one vendor. Betty was right, too many times in the business world, I have worked for companies where the software was mandated, because someone told the person in charge that all "microsoft products" (just an example) was the best, and it was not the best for that product at that time. In other words choose the best solution for the problem at hand. And if you think I sound like a real angry person who has been burned in life.
