Duncan report back from Orlando

Duncan has been to Orlando and gives a candid account on the AR session:
Analyst Equity: What Gartner Symposium/ITxpo 2007 meant for AR managers

It makes for an interesting read, assuming you have the context (just read our archive otherwise!) of the tensions between the Borg and AR Professionals. It's also amusing that Gartner seems to calculate its own market share. Probably makes sense not to use IDC?

ARmadgeddon's take: although Gartner wasn't poised to comment on delicate issues such as pricing or the 30 mn rule, it seems they might address some other annoyances such as third party surveys -some time soon.
