>Is this consulting group a competitor of Microsoft related to a database package? This would have explained this MORE THAN STUPID comment.

Even if they are pushing a competitor of Microsoft, this doesn't explain stupidities like these.

What's interesting for me, is the fact that they can make money with things like that. You know, they have clients who are paying for such advises...

I saw this autumn a very good PB presentation where they were also making a comparation with other DB products on the market. Of course, they were saying that PB it's the best tool (almost convinced me :)), but they never said stupid things like these. You can always do a comparation that brings your product on top without saying anything false about the other products...
