I wonder what type of dilbert bosses and top management ms talked this into. The impact of the migration completed to date on the call center's IS budget and management has been profound - a one-third decrease in performance accompanied by a fifty-percent increase in management costs. This does not include production time lost because of workstation freezes, transmission drops, or the constant re-booting needed to keep the server operational. You get what you pay for.

It is a good article but will it have an impact as this person's follow up message seems to indicate: Message 3375878 This is on the Novell thread but is a message from the AOL board with his comments at the top. The rest of the message is a summary of the same report. There have been lots of reports of the problems with NT and disasters that have occurred but it is management mainly that just goes ahead and makes the decision. I guess I'm wondering if this will ever change. Maybe only when lots of money is lost.
