THE high-techindustry is heading for another painful round of consolidation. While researching our Microsoft .Next report, I developed some perspectives on intertitan relationships from Microsoft's point of view. MS has the money and clout to make its friends rich and its enemies miserable. These musings are speculative, but IT organizations should consider them when evaluating their major tech suppliers. The friends of the vendors you choose will, in effect, become your partners. You'll be pressured to forsake their enemies, and companies on the enemies list will make it their mission to convert you. | ||
