No Sunday in the park: Rain pushes platforms closer to the precipice infoworld.com

A shotgun column, I will extract the "good" part as usual.

Speaking of platform changes, Cisco Systems may be switching over its internal network of print servers. Apparently, the company's current infrastructure is based on Linux and works very well, but that hasn't stopped the guys at the top from wanting to mess with it. I'm told that in light of Cisco's ever-cozier relationship with Microsoft, its senior management issued an order that the existing system be trashed in favor of a Windows NT-based setup. Word has it, though, that inertia has won out, and despite the order from on-high, the printing system is still -- you guessed it -- Linux-based.

A no doubt temporary victory of the Dilberts over management. Rip and Replace is the management slogan of the day, as long as it goes in Microsoft's direction.

Cheers, Dan.
