OT >>I have said that software is coming back but I don't see any heavy evidence of networking pickup- although things have stabilized but that is not a resumption in demand.<< hi lizzie.. i heard an analyst discussing software this afternoon...and i just caught the very end of the discussion....but one of the issues the guy raised was unemployment and outsourcing...what he called "butts in the seat"....he said until you see enterprise hiring, software will continue to be weak. i don't see the job growth, in fact i think we may soon the the "next wave" of layoffs as corporations continue to struggle with profitability and lack of top line growth... what do you see as the real driver for software growth?
