From Windows to Unix: a mental journey

» From Windows to Unix: a mental journey | Paul Murphy | ZDNet.com: "With IT, however, the job changes daily and you need leadership: the process of focusing more brains on goals; not management: the process of organizing hands to execute well understood processes. Thus the very basis of applying data processing methods, whether with zOS or Windows, is antithetical to the IT job - and therefore to Unix as a tool for doing the IT job. Basically, most corporate data processing is organized and equipped to pound square pegs into round holes - and thus the amazing thing about them isn’t that they constrain organizational change while costing too far too much and doing far too little, it’s that they work at all."
