In this post, I will explain why Microsoft was not the 'next IBM' and why Google is not the 'next Microsoft' - there are significant qualitative differences among them, quite apart from their status as the dominant, era-defining players. Understanding that qualitative difference is crucial for third party vendors, like Zoho, to thrive. I was reminded of this because of the IBM/Google partnership unveiled last week. As an aside, I have coined a kind of Moore s Law on these computing eras.]]></description></item><item><title>Data Integration Keynote at DataServices World To Be Given by John Goodson</title><guid isPermaLink="true">http://websphere.sys-con.com/read/537038.htm</guid><link>http://websphere.sys-con.com/read/537038.htm</link><pubDate>Mon, 19 May 2008 05:15:00 EST</pubDate><comments>http://websphere.sys-con.com/read/537038_f.htm</comments><description><![CDATA['As SOA rapidly becomes the standard for enterprise architectures, the need for robust technologies for data access and data integration has become more critical then ever before,' says John Goodson, executive leader of DataDirect Technologies.

There appear to be basically two views on how virtualization will affect the future development of operating systems and computing environments in the personal computing space. One camp believes that virtualization functionality will be present within the operating system. The other camp believes it will be outside the operating system, perhaps in the form of a hypervisor or thin virtualization layer that resides 'below' the OS and governs access to hardware.]]></description></item><item><title>Borland Finally Dumps CodeGear Tools Division</title><guid isPermaLink="true">http://websphere.sys-con.com/read/561924.htm</guid><link>http://websphere.sys-con.com/read/561924.htm</link><pubDate>Tue, 13 May 2008 06:45:00 EST</pubDate><comments>http://websphere.sys-con.com/read/561924_f.htm</comments><description><![CDATA[It's only taken Borland two years but it's finally dumped its CodeGear tools division, responsible for Borland's hereditary JBuilder, Delphi and C++ Builder lines as well as its new web ventures into PHP and Ruby, said to be used by 7.5 million developers.
