It's all about the buzzwords, the more your product uses the more money you get to build it. The more layers, the more complex, the more people dumb CEOs need to pay to setup and maintain it, but it has to be using the newest, flashiest tech. If you have used the stuff before you need to go and make a new one or two for the next project. One good guy can't support an enterprise, it needs to be a group of dimwits that band together and cover each others f*ups to support an enterprise. I recall the Y2K bug, a well known telco employed about 80 people to walk around to every desktop computer and manually run some script off a server that checked installed programs and updated each one. Well this telco has software installed on every desktop that allowed one person to access every machine in the country, show reports of software and versions installed, install, update or remotely control the GUI desktop. The team I was on completed our two months work the first week, so we got to use this to manually do the stupid steps on machines in other states, after someone there had walked around to turn machines on. It was all about one guy coming up with something that sounded complex enough that the CEO can't understand but had enough buzzwords and parts that it must be the solution to this dreaded Y2K problem. -- FreeBSD - the place to B...Software Developing Shane Ambler
