About face on Yankee Group

April 8th, 2004 by mhjones

I might have jumped to a positive conclusion too early re this Yankee report and the Linux vs Windows coverage. This story suggests Yankee was not as squeaky clean as I was led to believe:

Yankee Group’s survey, it turns out, was based on the responses given by companies that had been selected from a mailing list devoted to Windows issues. The survey was funded and carried out by Sunbelt Software, a vendor of Windows utilities, which publicised the survey through a mailing list called W2Knews, which bills itself as “The world’s first and largest e-zine designed for NT/2000 System Admins and Power Users”.

I’m waiting for another response from Yankee - here we go again on another analyst report controversy saga. Sigh.
