tart ploy where organisations or individuals hype up their importance,
potential & capabilities. Look at  what some proprietary software companies
are telling you about their products, do you believe what they are saying?
Of course not, you let it go in one ear and out of the other. They say that
actions speak louder than words, Red Hat has proved this in the REAL WORLD
regarding their profitability, Canonical has not yet done so and until they
can actually do this, ie. Scunthorpe winning a trophy, their words are
meaningless.
