Hi Ludwin;
=> I hear that very often! And I am very sad about it, because these rumors come from people right out of our community.
The problem stems from the fact that SAP has not gotten the word out or done this clearly about PB. Because of that, competing vendors will start all sorts of rumours and if no one rebuttals them - then the IT management will take these as "gospel".
Since the German UG announcement ... no "official" news about PB in the SDN news feed, SAP Developer news feed, MySybase, Information Week, Computing Weekly ... etc - or any other major computing magazine. With this kind of "information drought" about PB - no wonder no one considers PB anymore!
SAP ... hype PB up all over will you!!!!!!!!
Regards ... Chris
PS: True story ... A friend of mine just came back from Hawaii where he ran into a large group of SAP people having a corporate sales meeting. He asked the group if they were from SAP and they said "yep". He then asked them what they knew about Sybase products? The unambitious answer - what is Sybase?
I rest my case.
