Generic marketing

This morning, I found the following tidbit in my email.  Without doing a web search, can you figure out what product they’re selling?

While COMPANY PRODUCT A sets the standard for mission-critical
enterprise operating systems, COMPANY PRODUCT B raises the bar. In
this next-generation release, COMPANY continues the pattern of
innovation, building on the many groundbreaking technologies
introduced in COMPANY PRODUCT A. At the same time, COMPANY preserves
the long-standing guarantee of binary compatibility – applications
that run on previous COMPANY PRODUCT releases can still run unchanged
on COMPANY PRODUCT B within the same processor architecture: Y or Z.


If someone can plug any vendor and any product into the equation and come up with an equivalent “release statement,” then its too generic.  This many buzzwords in the first page of the release pretty much killed my interest in a supposed technical article.

For the record, it’s from Oracle’s Introducing Solaris 11 Express White Paper.
