Gartner’s at it again
You know, I may not have an MBA, but I don’t think I’d go advising a company with 40% margins to “quit the business”:
This reminds me of a presentation given in Fredericton a couple of years ago when Dr. Lyne Bouchard of Gartner said, in answer to an audience question following her presentation that (and I’m paraphrasing) ‘open-source software wasn’t really robust enough to use in an enterprise setting.’
To paraphrase Paul Graham, tell that to Google, Yahoo! and eBay.
