Charles Hudson's Blog: The JetBlue Advantage | Charles Hudson's Weblog

    This JetBlue article is a classic "future success" story. The real scenario is that Unisys and Microsoft have promised JetBlue that they'll make all their systems work if JetBlue will go around saying that they've implemented this.

    Getting free support from Microsoft and Unisys in return will be the main way that JetBlue saves money.

    Think about it - Blades (unspecified brand), Itanium, ES7000 all running together with 64bit SQL Server and apps everywhere. Not bloody likely... unless Microsoft is parked in your datacenter.
