For Immediate Release
LAUSANNE, Switzerland, July 24--The international firm CollierBlanc (Nasdaq: DORK) unveiled plans today for its new flagship product, Collier2000, to be released early February of next year. Collier2000 will eventually replace all previous versions of the company's products.
"I don't want to push our customer's expectations too far," said CollierBlanc vice president J. K. Collier at today's press conference. "But our development team assures us that this will be the best product we've produced since the merger of our organizations last year."
Collier2000's operating system will have two native interface languages, Collier explained. "The decision was a no-brainer. The market today demands backwards compatibility. So having a model that can span the cross-platform gap between American and French conventions is essential for maintaining open interfaces with both Collier models and Blanc models as they exist in today's production environments in their respective cultures."
Collier declined to reveal any
more technical details about Collier2000, codenamed LittleBean by its
developers. He mentioned only that they have planned an aggressive marketing
strategy, including the purchase of advertising space on the face of the
moon (see photo for detail).
When asked about rumors that the Collier2000 project was running behind schedule, Collier replied, "No, we're right on schedule. From the beginning, we opted to produce this model in nine months, and we're dedicated to sticking to that timeline."
"Unlike big companies such as Microsoft," Collier continued, "we like to be honest with our customers. There will inevitably be bugs in Collier2000 when it hits the market. But it's expected. We're sure that in a few years' time, it will develop into a reliable, mature model on which we can base future products. We hope to set the standards for the market."
