I am not sure who they were.
You are probable refering to innocent computer customers.
I do know there were a lot of so called experts trying to sell their
services and new equipment and used FUD as usual.
Lots of people had meeting after meeting about this and some computer
manufacturers managed to sell quite a lot of equipment and software.
Amazingly computer companies use the FUD in many various ways.
Best way when these so called experts tell you something silly is to
ask for written documentation which in most cases does not exist or if
at all written down then it is written by innocent bystanders that
have been fooled by those false FUD talks.
Most of the big computer and software comapanies are masters of
spreading FUD about their competitors.
I have to say that the Millennium crisis was a very successful FUD
FUD =3D Fear Uncertainty and Doubt
