While I don't particularly disagree with a company glad-handing someone they're in bed with, because it does make sense, it is a pet peeve of mine when someone says or insinuates that a project or technology would not have been possible without the partnership. That's like me saying I couldn't have gotten a B in Intro to Game Design without my iPod Touch.
