It is published by Gartner and copyrighted. If you want a copy of their report you need to contact them to purchase it. I guess Brad wasn't clear enough.

One would imagine that a company would be able to buy an official copy of the report with the revenue they made from flooding newsgroups with advertising just weeks earlier...

Hi AN,

A Gartner Group "study" or "advisory" is often "quoted" in online publications, but the study or advisory itself is sold.

However, what you may find helpful is the Gartner Group's FREE RESEARCH.

Just make sure you "check" the Free Research radio button and "check" the Include Archived Research Box:

Examples of the Gartner Group's "free research" include:

Avoid New Purchases of Symantec Network Security Appliances

as well as

Don't Pay Excessive Premiums for Cisco Network Equipment

Hope this helps.

Thanks, I appreciate all the advise.
