I don't know weather JBoss is better or not than IBM WASCE but I don't think it's normal to find this on IBM company site...

Well, it's pretty much normal marketing although usually you don't mention your competitor by name and just say that according to a big study you are 232% better that competitor X

Anyone that actually falls for that TV-Shop-style advertizing deserve to run WebSphere ;-)

They're saying that a named competitor sucks based on ... nothing !

in my country this would not be allowed by laws ...

Right now i'm working with WSASCE...

take care

What really got me is that somebody went through the hassle and created an ad against using OSS and JBoss. How desperate could one be to do that...

I was qurious about what FUD they had about JBoss in the vid, but couldn't play it. Guess that's because I'm not using a proprietary OS
