• Will Silverlight Be DOA? @ WEB DEVELOPER’S & DESIGNER’S JOURNAL

• Open Malaysia: Day 1, Microsoft Technology Summit 2007
  OOXML “was a part of the software and that OOXML and the software (MS Office) are quite inseparable. Ergo, OOXML is an integral and inseparable part of MS Office. That’s why they could not adopt ODF as the file format for subsequent versions of MS Office”

• One reason why it’s so hard to get IT people to think about the business
  “This inversion helps to explain why IT departments generally have trouble understanding that they exist to deliver business value to the customer. Culturally they reward those who manage to avoid directly dealing with the business.”

• EclipseCon 2007 - Network Management Evolution

• Two views of Lotus in SMB
  Wow, there’s a lot of passion (152 comments!) in blogistan around getting Lotus Notes (only Notes?) into the SMB. I suspect, as is usually the case on buy side discusions, it’s more “S” than “M.”
