So, HP announces they are extending support
to 12/31/2008 and the resounding chorus is
one of silence.
Are people busy Christmas shopping, off of work
not getting this info, or just not willing to
post unless they can complain?
Seems pretty reasonable to me... extend support,
get more $$ from support services, help out the
migrating-post-2006 crowd.
And a little bonus of letting source code out of
the firm clutches of the mother-ship, eventually...
While the information is 'the story' I can't keep
from thinking the real story is that HP was willing
to adjust the date after careful review. It shouldn't
change anyone's migration plan, but it should give
everyone something to think about when they consider
how they view HP as a partner today and into the future.
Wishing everyone the best this holiday season and may
your migrations all be successful and within budget :-)
