[nylug-talk] Why does "enterprise" imply "Java"?

[Steve McAllister]

My Favorite Peter C. Norton quote:

It's software like peoplesoft and oracle applications (and the oracle
server) that makes me want to laugh at people who say "enterprise
class" software. To me it means that they built a 1/8 scale model and
flew it around in front of a camera.
--Peter C. Norton


I think it's what is wrong with the idea that IT management doesn't have 
to know much about IT. Management skills are far more important.
I used to think the bad decisions were because of payola, but am now 
thinking it's more from a lack of IT knowledge.
