good review from the viewpoint of the CIO --- a WINTEL renaissance (read between the lines that dinosaurs are in for a high jump :-) ------------------- While Unix rules the high-end server market, it will soon face competition from Windows running on Intel. Microsoft has begun introducing software that promises the improved reliability needed to land a place in corporate data centers, and Intel's 64-bit Itanium chip promises to provide inexpensive horsepower to drive the Windows environment. IT managers such as Scott Sullivan, VP for technology and operations at Homestore.com Inc., say that approach is the best way to build a high-end IT infrastructure that's relatively quick, easy, and inexpensive to scale when business demands it.

Paul, I wondered when you were going to jump into this discussion. Re: "Uh...if it took this BOZO FIVE YEARS of working on Windows to "suddenly" discover that Windows doesn't work, I'd say he has certainly disqualified himself as capable of rendering an informed opinion." That Mr. Alsop gave Windows five years before screaming "I'm not going to take it anymore" indicates he HAS an informed opinion. The experiences with Windows discussed in this article match my own. I have an informed opinion. Maybe that makes me a Bozo too. Life goes on.
