[edit] Advertisment vs Encyclopedia article

Somebody at IP 129.97.114.173 changed this article to an advertisement for BO. It is great that you want to impove this very small article about your company but Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and we take the idea of neutral point of view very seriously because this is an encyclopedia. If you would like to expand this article in an encyclopedic fashion that's great but advertisments don't last long as wikipedia articles. JesseHogan 17:54, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] POV and history

I tried to remove some of the POV in this article, but I still think that the text in this way could be on the companys website as an advertisement. Sure it is a great product but it is not ultimative. Furthermore I am not sure how lists are handled in the English Wikipedia, but at least the history section should be converted to a continuous text. -- CecilK 01:44, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Crticism

There are no citations anywhere in the criticism section and a lot of these are simply an individuals opinion. I think we should remove the conjecture and add some citations if this section is to remain. Macutty 18:48, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Also added a number of citation tags. The info reads like a competitor spreading FUD rather than anything else.

After reviewing rules on verifiability and OR I'm suppressing the criticism section using the <! tag until sources can be found to back up these statements Macutty 22:29, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
