Lukas, your dispatches from the front lines of computing are great
reading. Here is a video that illustrates in a small way how MSFT
is cleaning IBM's clock in the world of software applications...


I hate it when Steve Richter snags me in his net of non-stop complaints about IBM and their handling of the System i. It seems that about 90% of his posts are offensive hyperbole mixed with bad advise, and why would dispatches of IBM failing on the front lines be great reading to him?

Nevertheless I took the bait, and listened to Microsoft's Channel 9 interview with Siemen's smug-faced Scott Carney. I just couldn't work under him - getting all his developers together each month for a dog and pony show of the new tricks they've mastered via .Net.

The kicker for me was when Scott finally admitted some of the challenges of keeping "cloud-computing" up and running 24 X 7, an how difficult debugging in a "cloud" was.
