You mean, you didn't actually read the article at all, yet choose to
comment on it anyway. If, as you claimed, you had read the closing
paragraphs (plural) you would have seen:
Schepis says that Splendid's focus on Microsoft platforms made it simple to
deploy and maintain. "It runs a lot faster on the same hardware," he says.
"All of our users were very excited to see that performance increase. And
because it is a .Net and SQL Server back end, we can do native integration,
where with Sugar we had to do some middleware stuff."
Schepis says he learned a valuable lesson during this process. "The
alignment of the underlying technology with your company's internal
strengths and knowledge is the most important thing. We tried using PHP and
MySQL and Apache -- it was pretty much foreign to us. We found success with
open source by using what our guys know how to use."
Now that he's gained some practical experience with an open source
application, Schepis says he'd use it again. "So long as there's existing
knowledge, or an easy way to get up to speed, there's no difference between
using open source and commercial. Actually, there's an additional benefit,
because you have access to the source and the licensing fees are much
lower. Just make sure you set your expectations in line with the experience
level of the people who are going to implement it for you."
-------------
Notice where even the second to last paragraph says the PHP and MySQL and
Apache didn't work for them.
You aren't a journalist. Journalists actually research what they report
on, and have a responsibility to report accurately, and to publicly retract
when they make a mistake. You can't claim to have "accidently" missed the
entire fucking article which completely obliterates your attempted
mischaracterization of it.
You aren't accurate, you don't take responsibility for your posts, you
don't even stop posting articles after they've been proven that they don't
say what you claim they do, or are completely inaccurate.
You're not even a "hack" journalist. You're a parrot who feels the need to
comment inaccurately on what he doesn't even bother to read.
