[News] The Denationalisation of Software Monopolies

Time to denationalise the software monopolies

,----[ Quote ]
| Utility computing is Silicon Valley's latest uber trend. Beneath the
| talk of software as a service (SaaS), Linux on 32-bit servers, and
| infrastructure management is a belief that powerful and productive
| systems can be delivered, and charged, as if they are electricity
| or the telephone service.
| 
| While SaaS and Linux are certainly changing the landscape, they are
| the latest manifestation of a trend that has been snaking its way
| through computing for years: to make IT a more standardided,
| repeatable and a more controllable process.
