I think we all have our opinions on marketing,, and much marketing
focuses on differentiating a product with its competitors. Such as why
is Bayer Aspirin better than generic aspirin. We all know that sometimes
an inferior product can sell better than a superior one. Back in the
1970s, IBM's OS's (MVS, OS/VS1) were the market leaders but competitors
like Burroughs had technically better products. The same goes for
Microsoft Windows vs. Mac or Linux or Unix. I would agree with Richard
in that there is a lot of what we might consider unethical practices in
Marketing.
