Disappointing news

[Mike Mascari]

"Hewlett-Packard Co. (NYSE:HPQ - news) will support open-source
software companies JBoss and MySQL on its servers as it seeks to
compete with International Business Machines Corp. (NYSE:IBM - news)
in offering Linux (news - web sites)-compatible services, a Linux
executive said late Monday."

Perhaps an advocacy member should persuade them otherwise...

Trusting his identity, I would say we need to persuade somebody else than HP.
If you have HP serving you, you can press your company. Also one of
postgresql supporting companies stepping up would be good as well..

Maybe people should start using SCO, given that they tend to be pretty
postgresql friendly.

While the sentiment about supporting pgsql friendly vendors is valid,
personally, I'd sooner use dbase 3 than give SCO any money.
