This is beyond Machiavellian, it's well into Byzantine. The best way to simplify is "follow the money", I reckon.

Great pic, Tom!

Not convoluted really... That is why we all place so much creditibility in Gartner.

Great for laughs though :).

Your talking to a guy that lived in Vegas for over a year, I know what money can get you :-)

and I stand by my statement.

I like tuxchick's comment, Byzantine! AWESOME! and she is right.

I hope somehow that the result of reports such as this one that Gartner produced is that reports by these big name analysis agencies will lose all credibility. Unless the reader is provided with the agency's investor list and a credible, third-party affidavit that the agency's reports are factual and free of bias, I see no alternative but to assume that each report the agency issues is covert advertising for whatever is being endorsed. Similarly, any institution depending on such information would need to look elsewhere for solid facts upon which to make business decisions.
