I've never used Word or Powerpoint for business apps. Maybe for a seminar
or writing a family Christmas letter.

Since most business development is done via MS apps (PowerPoint,
Word, etc.) or other non-i platforms, the i community will
continue to shrink vis-a-vis business development. Now if you
mean application development of automating business processes
(instead of business development)... the same answer applies.
If you mean business plans... the same answer applies. As to
the i playing a part in business... its a shrinking part, as
things are currently going.

My question is this: When will we ever reach the point of
being business developers again vs. ... techgeek ...
I've flip-flopped back and forth quite a bit during the past 8
years. Who knows when the dust will settle? Right now I'm
pleased to be doing more application development than "tool" or
"interface" development.
Meanwhile, the tug and pull between traditional desktop
applications on one hand, green-screens on the other, and a whole
lot of Web technologies in the middle, keeps the dust from settling.
You mentioned Silverlight and Flex. They may be advertised as
Web technologies, but they look more like traditional desktop
technologies to me.
Nathan.
