Norman,

I would have been surprised in EMC had said anything other than that.

In the IT industry we are pretty much immune to hype. You could confuse the 
existence of hype as proof that it has some legitimacy, but it is just self 
indulgent noise.

I would also disagree that the IT industry is full of risk takers. The fact 
is that most IT people are too risk averse for their own good.

There is an unfortunate belief that ignoring all but the most blatant 
problem is a good way to go so as to avoid the personal risk of making a 
decision.

This is why customers stay loyal to ineffective supplies; not because they 
deliver or will ever deliver, but because it is all too hard to change.
