Tommy changes the headline of this to refelect on the content. Groklaw folks
will be very surprised as well. The founder/head of the Yankee Group spouted
some insults at Linux people some time ago. [H]omer wrote about it at the
time.
Yankee Groups is basically a bunch of people, few of whom may have
computing-related certifications (DiDio, for example, hasn't anything to do
with computers, but it doesn't stop her from commenting). These people are
given some raw figures and some money, then told to process these/some numbers
and write some whitepaper which they can pushed to Microsoft-friendly
journalists like Peter Galli, who create spin and FUD. Needless to say, Yankee
gets a lot of its gigs from Microsoft. Gartner and IDC aren't much better.
It's just a big industry (army) of shills in suit, mouthpieces.
