- Penalty for switching
-
"The mainframe is the technology leader. There are a lot of servers out there, but we are always leading the pack,...It really has to do with heavy-duty, bulletproof strengths."
Not so much any advantage they have is it? More like the penalty for switching.
It would cost so damn much to switch and rewrite the software that nobody wants to, unless they're facing upstart competition they don't want to take the pain.
This is the same line MS is pushing against Linux... that the penalty for switching is so high that its best to just suck it up and pay for the upgrades. - Posted by: Nigel Johnstone Posted on: 04/07/04 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
