Forrester corrupted? Posted Sep 15, 2003 16:35 UTC (Mon) by ncm (subscriber, #165) [Link] Forrester has traditionally been among the less unscrupulous market-research firms, at least in Linux market analysis. (I can see their building from my office.) It was a surprise to see Forrester co-opted by SCO, ruining the reputation they had built.I wonder if this move was prompted by the change in company policy, from analysis to toadyism. Were I an analyst, I too would have second thoughts about having the Forrester connection on my resumé after the fall. If indeed that was the motivation, perhaps Ms. Quandt was the primary source of Forrester's previously insightful analyses of Linux-related markets, and my estimation of Forrester's reputation was simply based on a selected sample of their output.

OSDL gets its own analyst Posted Sep 15, 2003 19:07 UTC (Mon) by einstein (subscriber, #2052) [Link] Stacey Quandt is good people, she always seemed to have a clue, so this is a good move all around -She's no Laura DiDio, if you know what I mean.
