Please be careful when you claim "paid support"

Dennis,

Unless you have a copy of the invoice from IDC, you shouldn't flatly state that she was paid or otherwise compensated for her quote in a press release. Bad form from an otherwise reliable blogger.

Clearly, all the analyst firms have financial relationships with all of the tech vendors, but there is usually quite a clear firewall when it comes to the financial relationship for research and PR quotes. Mutual back-scratching aside, nobody put a gun to her head and nobody paid her for that quote. To state otherwise without proof is unethical.
