Judges Comments
"In terms of trust, typically Microsoft ranks 3rd in trust or last in trust while IBM ranks 1st."
"Microsoft and IBM are both platform companies and they each have a broad portfolio and go after each
other in this category."
"Microsoft is really troubled because of their reputation and many have been criticizing their market
efforts as too brand oriented not enough demand generation focused."
