Glenn Koster quotes Carly Fiorina:

>     - It acknowledges the fact that customers have discrete needs
>       within their computing environments, needs that require
>       different computing platforms . therefore NT, HP-UX and
>       Linux, all receive mission-critical levels of support.

>    Technology is changing so fast, that to bet a business on
>    proprietary technology . or on a single technology .
>    commits an IT environment to becoming a legacy environment.

Golly, but this is funny.

Not only does this imply that "legacy" = "obsolete", but it also implies
the NT is nonproprietary (and therefore, nonlegacy). It also implies that
the best way to run a mission-critical site is to change systems every
three months.

Is this person a CEO, or a columnist?
