| Plexuscom and Genesi to Cooperate on PegasosPPC for CeBit Release : Comment 85 of 107 | ANN.lu |
| Posted by bbrv on 16-Feb-2003 19:07 GMT | Well, there is certainly alot of emotion flowing here and we respect that. We will post a thorough response to all the questions and issues raised in this thread later this week. In the meanwhile, try to keep this in mind...
Today, Genesi stands on the verge of enormous opportunity. We can provide a completely integrated solution, including hardware, operating system, and a number of (bundled and unbundled) applications. We can innovate in ways that involve the complete integrated package, rather than being limited to new developments within each level by third parties (HP and Microsoft are not as self-reliant in this way). Genesi and our associates need to leverage this advantage fully. We are smaller, faster and will be necessarily more adventurous in our efforts.
The Plexuscom case is a case. It is still a Pegasos inside. We need to be different. You can still by a "tower" from Vesalia or KDH. You can put the board in a microwave oven or a coffeemaker as you said if you want...;-)
What is a computer? Is it an end in itself or a means to an end?
Respectfully,
R&B |
