So if IBM is quite happy to have the world know what it has planned for the future why is it that the potential parters we are said to be working with are so insistant on every aspect of our dealings be cloaked by NDAs? I have the impression that High Tech Co's love the attention they get from their audience knowing that they are looking ahead and not stagnating. It's good for business and keeps their names in the forefront....and boy could we ever benefit from a wee bit of "leakage".
