SHARK BAIT
_________
Shouldn't users at least be able to read?

described as "mission critical" (the department only does tax calculations).
Since I know how important this software is, I always keep an extra eye on the
backups -- but that's apparently not enough . . .

Developers confirm, explain why they're avoiding Windows Vista
Windows developers are saying that lack of demand and the historical tendency
of a certain percentage of Microsoft technologies to become quickly irrelevant
are among the factors keeping 11 out of 12 programmers surveyed from devoting
time to writing Windows Vista-specific apps.

IBM Rational IDE tops survey
The IBM integrated development environment was ahead of other IDEs in terms of
overall customer satisfaction but did not fare so well in ease of use, editor
features or availability of third-party tools to work with it.
