schestowitz[TR2]                                        <p> While this stage of development usually slows down, this specific version arrived with a massive amount of code. </p>Aug 07 13:08

schestowitz[TR2]BTW are you guys on 0.8 yet? Aug 07 17:30
schestowitz[TR2]There are some serious but nominally hidden networking issues fixed with thatAug 07 17:30
schestowitz[TR2]version.  Unfortunately it uses a newish version of Python to resolve the  Aug 07 17:30
schestowitz[TR2]networking problems it used to have.  There's not a work-around possilbe withAug 07 17:30
schestowitz[TR2]the older Pythons.   Python is most disagreeably a moving target.  Unlike Perl5Aug 07 17:30
schestowitz[TR2]which is quite polished.  "Aug 07 17:30

schestowitz[TR2]IBM has always had 3 go to market strategiesAug 07 21:30
schestowitz[TR2]MainframeAug 07 21:30
schestowitz[TR2]SMB (mostly power)Aug 07 21:30
schestowitz[TR2]IntelAug 07 21:30
schestowitz[TR2]Now ask yourself where has IBM spent money over the last 5 years?Aug 07 21:30
schestowitz[TR2]Yep you got it. On any SW company that compliments mainframeAug 07 21:30
schestowitz[TR2]SMB investment = nope. Let the partners and ISV’s duke it out.Aug 07 21:30
schestowitz[TR2]Intel investment = double nope as IBM sold Intel off and said it was a commodity marketAug 07 21:30
schestowitz[TR2]So if you are not in Mainframe/Enterprise solutions, what IBM offerings are in your kit bag?Aug 07 21:30
schestowitz[TR2]Again you got it. You are running in place at best hoping for an upgrade, and most likely farming an already empty and abandoned marketplaceAug 07 21:30
schestowitz[TR2]The SMB and Intel marketplace abandoned IBM for LINUX solutions 10 years ago and they have not looked backAug 07 21:30
schestowitz[TR2]The sooner IBM acknowledges this, the sooner IBM will stop wasting efforts on lost causesAug 07 21:30
