What is it about the Gartner Group that makes them so popular. I used to work at MGM. That was the first place I worked at where there was a public folder in email on Gartner Group. I heard the comment several times from my manager that the VP of IS used the Gartner Group heavily in determining the course of the IS dept.

>>I remember Gardner Group claiming Fox was dead after 2.6 came out (circa 1993). Then they claimed Fox is dead again after 3.0. They stated it again after 5.0 came out. If nothing else, they are consistently wrong.

>I think if you look at the Gartner Group's predictions, they are only correct about 40% of the time. Too bad so many companies listen to them.
