GAM Myth Busters - Not
September 26, 2007

Last Blog I tried to enlist volunteers for the GAM Myth busters. As Borat would say We Got GAM Myth Busters - Not.

The goal was to determine if the XPS myths are “busted or confirmed”. I outlined a quick test - but we got no replies. So either: no one has Vista, has the time to check, or reads my blogs. Between the feelings I got when communicating with the PR firms associated with the manufacturers and this lack of responses - for purely self esteem reasons I will assume that no one has Vista.

We will be publishing the full article of this story in the next NAPL Business Review. The great irony is that we may not really know if there are problems, until its too late. Too late meaning until more systems are installed and more people experience problems. The reason it that may be too late is because if there is a problem it will most likely take months to correct it. And then everyone will ask "Why, why why ... would they do this?"
