Symantec's John Thompson on Cisco, Microsoft and McAfee

2008-04-15 00:17:48 by ashimmy in StillSecure, After All These Years

Saw these interesting quotes by John Thompson in this article by Ellen Messmer.

On Cisco: "It shows Cisco would rather work with anyone other than Symantec. Cisco has a philosophical point of view that if you compete with me, you can't partner with me." Amen to that John!

On McAfee: "It's a nice little company and they do a nice job. The industry needs competition." Ouch, that was mean!

On Microsoft entering security: "It's been much ado about nothing. Their results have been fairly abysmal .."

Seeing John this sharp leads me to believe me must be feeling the pressure over at Big Yellow. And people say I am tough on my competitors!
