Have you read any of my statements? i have said they are my opinion. I'm
sorry if I haven't taken the time to list out my complaints (like OpenManage
which was stated) and those of my clients (like hard drives that can't be
replaced anymore because of some bizarre firmware issues). So please before
you start throwing mud, please read my posts in their entirety again. yes I
will bring up the fact of lights out and being in front means more than just
a processor, it also deals with management software (again), hardware in all
it's forms, blades, racks, etc, support for all of it. That is what I have
to deal with with my customers, I have to look at everything.
Besides, this entire thread is about peoples opinions and experiences, right
or wrong.
If you really want, I'll get one of my customers to list out why they threw
dell out on to the curve. It will take a couple of days but I'll get the
list.
