<description><![CDATA[I like the presentation, but it is not even remotely viral. This is a classic corporate "fun" video. It is easier to watch than a completely boring "facts" demo, but nobody would watch it for the sheer fun of it, and nobody is going to pass it around unless they are already complete fans and want to show that IBM "gets it".<br /><br />My reason for posting is not to put down the effort, but rather to say that if it is oversold, it will disappoint people rather than excite them. Don't call it viral or think it is going to be watched for the sake of being watched, or you are going to create a negative "IBM doesn't get it" backlash.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Some years ago I worked for a company which had IBM as their largest customer. IBM "suggested" that Lotus Smartsuite was the preferred format for exchanging documents with IBM. They also suggested OS/2 and IBM servers, all of which were quickly adopted in my office per instructions from the company president. IBM has the muscle to make a real dent in MS Office if they choose to.]]></description>
