IBM Italy but not USA because of resentment???And pray tell, what exactly is that "big difference"? If I remember correctly, one of the early adopters of the ACS was a European financial institution. This could very well be that company. But let me get this straight. If corporations in Europe start buying the product(and by extension, lots of IBM products)IBM USA won't allow any sales because Kozak might get rich off the deal? LOL. Joe Kozak is not the devil incarnate. And what did he do to IBM that you say made them so angry. This would clearly be insider knowledge, except I'm not so sure it's knowledge at all. You've stated in previous posts that Joe embarrassed IBM in front of their clients. Why should we believe you? I guess all we can do is look at your posting history, and make a judgement call. My reliable source says there was finger pointing between IBM and Ants. Now if Joe did that he probably at least had a reason, but....you don't tug on Superman's cape, you don't spit into the wind, you don't pull the mask off that old Lone Ranger, and you don't mess with IBM. At the very least it's pretty obvious IBM and Ants are still talking. Note, it says "further discussion" below.
" Dr. Kautzmann, III reviewed the ACS Advanced Architecture (AAA) with Don Haderle, the original architect of IBM’s DB2 data base. Mr. Haderle concluded that the ANTs Advanced Architecture (AAA) was the technically correct approach to universal and complete migration; not the previous ACS, that utilizes a non-semantic formal implementation in the AAS. The Early ACS Architecture (EAA) that was presented to IBM had implementation and performance issues in IBM’s test beds for IBM clients. Further discussion regarding the ACS Advanced Architecture (AAA) for IBM’s or others test beds will begin with the ANTs ACS Advanced Architecture (AAA) completion. This project should be completed in the next 90 to 120 days. Preliminary discussions with potential users of the AAA continue."
One positive thing about your post. You say Joe is holding stock. Now that I believe. And if he is, I wonder why?
