Ah here we go "Mr come in at the end of a debate and throw in a sarcastic line to make him self look good and perfect" not. Go and pour a cup of coffee down the backplane of your VMS and AIX system and watch it smoke its way in to an oblivion.ringo_24601 wrote: »Well, i must say this pedantry is amusing. At work we use AIX and VMS servers to host clinical data, running on Citrix farms onto desktops using Windows XP. We also use Linux machines as imagery data stores. Our big 4000 table database runs on Oracle 9. We also use window sharepoints, we've got our personnel system running on PeopleSoft - oh so many technologies
Do i give a crap, really? As long as it works, i'm happy. I work on middleware so frankly i don't care what it's running on. I can hack away in AIX but must admit VMS is annoying to use.
My work laptop is a Vista machine - recently upgraded. Have used it for a few months now and really like it - especially the file searching. Yes, yes, you can get google desktop, but i like the integration.

:rotfl:Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.0 -
Does it? In this day and age I would be inclined to say it was the otherway around, business is so reliant on IT systems and network infrastructure these days, which keeps me in a job.
I have worked in IT for major investment banks for the past 15 years and trust me if the business say to run windows servers then we have to run windows servers. The business take our input but at the end of the day they control the money. The business will not collapse without you but you will collapse without the business.0 -
Many (in fact most) businesses will very easily collapse without IT services, I too have been working in the industry for many years too...0

Gosh! What was that all about?!
No idea this was would stir up a hornet's nest!
Just an update, bought a battery from ebay for £29 (£36 plus p&P) so hopefully that will give me a few more months to make the case for a new Apple. Just asked our techie and he said to push for a macbook air....0 -
