I call conspiracy.

Hewlett-Packard (HP) has been ranked at the top of the latest Vendor Matrix released by ABI Research.

IBM and Cisco claimed the second and third spots in the company’s new evaluation of data center equipment vendors’ efforts to improve their performance on energy conservation and environmental issues.

Nortel Networks and Hewlett-Packard (HP) claimed the second and third spots in the company's new evaluation of network switching vendors' internal green initiatives as well as the greenness of their switches.

The Vendor Matrix is an analytical tool developed by ABI Research to provide a clear understanding of vendors' positions in specific markets. Vendors are assessed on the important parameters of “innovation” and “implementation” across several criteria unique to each vendor matrix.

“Nortel, which finished first in the Implementation category, builds the 'greenest' switches, which have been optimized for low power consumption,” says ABI Research vice president Stan Schatt.

Perhaps you need to rethink the path you are walking and make a U-turn to the person you were before it all happened.

Ad hominem's are a Nortel specialty. Things never change.

Proto has an extreme unhealthy dislike for anyone even remotely positive on Nortel and it shows here, but it went to a much different level on the yahoo message board last night.

If i may, I would like to post a link along with his commentary. If you are sensitive about a persons vulgar expression under the influence of alcohol, you may want to stop reading right now. You just can't make these things up. It's the individual themself stripping and stating their true feelings, like a microphone being accidently left on after the interview ended and some unintended comments become embarassingly part of the record:

PS. pumpers pull my finger LOL

I guess the blogg poll was right, most of you stalking slandering reptiles really are Nortel employees!

I am not as polite as ethical Gary Daichendt. I think the stock price looks good on you bullies at 50 cents extreme presplit.

Good luck finding a job with Nortel on your resume when this company folds let alone with personalities like yours. I also dread to see what your personal lives are like from a psychological perspective, just read your posts. Poor devils.

No wonder the company is in trouble with mentality like this, next thing you know these cruel idiots will threaten to grab my face LOL

Stick to the facts, honesty draws no fire. Cowards.

The more you fruitcake weenies pump, the more shameful you appear to a moral majority.
Enough to make anyone civil throw up… shame on you, if you had any… what poor excuses for human beings I tell ya… Nortel employees to boot…

Cisco Tax BS , WiMax gone like Neptune LTE is a joke with UMTS sold, as it makes new lows 3 years later as I am painted a liar? Heh…as I get political flack from fruitcakes… too funny…What do you want from me? Happy talk? Sorry…. I don't lie. $20 was no buy a year ago and I don't contradict my word let alone written agreements on several occasions. I still believe in morality, and so do most. Look what deviates as an abnormal minority from the moral majority, crooks, and criminals are stoooopid.

Can hardly wait until fraud trials hit the news… to tell ya I told ya so yet again.

Appreciate your comment and no, you have not missed my intentions. I try to see through the style and look at the substance of the comments, as I would want others to do the same with mine. The goal, as you have previously stated, is not to just agree/disagree but to have substantive discussions and offer some solutions. Nortel’s team would exercise great judgment in taking some of the suggestions presented herein to avoid the future creation of more Protos.

On a personal note, how can you possibly not like comments from such a ‘telecom expert’ .
