Journal Mick Ohrberg's Journal: Beware Of 'GWHHMS'?

Canopus Research Inc. director William F. Zachmann seems to have a bone to pick with what he calls 'GWHHMS' (pronounced Gwhyms), or Geeks WHo Hate MicroSoft. He seems to categorize all those who do not bow before the Altar of Microsoft as various degrees of Gwhyms, ranging from the Strict Gwhym fundamentalist to the "When Convenient" Gwhym. Says Zachmann:

[...] let there be no doubt: Adoption of the Gwhym faith by an organization is virtually certain to make software more costly, to lower productivity and to delay development.

However, he also states:

Do not put any more money in Microsoft's coffers than you need to and make sure you get real value for however much you do give.
