“First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then they produce lame marketing videos, then you win.”
- with apologies to the late Mahatma Gandhi.
Actually, I’d say if your competitors are producing videos at the rate that the Websphere marketing team are producing them about JBoss I think you can safely conclude that they’ve given up all hope competing with products and technology. The latest almost makes me feel a little embarrassed for the Websphere team. How the mighty have fallen.
Did you see ‘finger’ in first part of the video. ROFL.
I would say that this ‘cool management software’ for websphere is a problem it self. And about websphere as AS don’t get me started.
However if you check job openings in e.g. UK, then you will notice 3 keywords – ‘investment banking’, ‘websphere’, ‘oracle’.
The finger thing at the start is wierd – is he giving JBoss the finger ? IBM ? his boss ? This video is obviously much deeper than I’d initially thought.
Everybody should use Webs Fear.
In video IBM guy carries open laptop with him. Because a websphere may be down at anytime. so he should be ready.
But this finger thing is more than weird. It just a sign of fear.
he he he, this is quite funny… I really see this as an anti-advertisement quite frankly. This guy is a total jerk, the kind of guy I’d never ever hire. And guess what… he created his own management environment! Well, why didn’t he use the one provided with JBoss then? http://www.jboss.com/products/jbosson/management_detail/index.html
What this ad really says? “Don’t hire jerks”. (Nah, I did NOT write “Jerks are using WS”).
Yeah, that sucked.
then you piss them
