I had to deal with exactly that sort of nonsense in the I.T. world when I was buying and IBM was competing against other vendors for my I.T budget's dollars.

IBM single-handedly spawned the acronym "FUD" - Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt - in the 1960's when they wiped the I.T. floor with 5 other mainframe competitors, several of whom had much better products than IBM's.

The saying back then was "Nobody ever got fired for buying IBM."

You bet I had to be on my game when I was in the CEO's office up against as many as a dozen G/d LIARS - oops, I mean "sales representatives" all wearing "IBM" pins in their G/d pin-striped lapels.

And guess what ? NOTHING HAS CHANGED !
