Some things are so broken that you just can't lie about them. A friend told me
about a strategy Microsoft has used for many years: it tries hard to convince
people that 'other' things suck_ equally_ (there's a good name for this
strategy, which I can't recall*), so they essentially try to convince people
never to explore alternatives. This means that using SCO, vapourware and
Munchkins works better for them than actually improved development.
