" The Bluespace prototype seems like the perfect environment for an ambitious young IBM salesman, thus betraying the salesman (or saleslady) centric culture prevalent within IBM ."
How can a saleman culture be 'betrayed' by developing a prototype described as 'perfect' for salesmen? Surely the prototype would be seen as a positive step?
Yes, most certainly. The term betrayed is employed here in a figurative way. The Bluespace environment is, in my personal opinion, a nearly ideal one for this particular kind of employee. I had to restrain my enthusiasm about it (or about the Starfire video prototype, or about the Broadbench prototype and its Longhorn demo...) to try to write a balanced encyclopedia article about it and the other prototypes. In the first draft it came out as a very drab, very grey article, so I tried to enliven it with some stylistic elements like saying "betrays" instead of "exemplifies" or "supports" or something else. --AlainV 19:45, 28 Dec 2004 (UTC)
