5-year plan?? This sounds socialistic. The erstwhile Soviet Union and India before the 90’s used to have 5-year plans. Look where that took these countires ….No where.

Learn from History. 5-year plans are useless. It shows that Google has become large enough. So large that it cannot remain nimble and agile and execute fast enough.

It seems very true. Microsoft is after acquiring Yahoo only due to threat from google.

Google will do great in enterprise, for sure.

IBM is in the business to sell hardware. Their software is an adjunct to their core hardware business. Is there a real solution out there there that lets .NET connect to a CICS application? Java to CICS? The AppEngine is worthless for this.

Interesting theme on partnering here and good discussion around the what, why and who but little on the how – one of the biggest challenges in partnering is not just what and why or who, but also how you are going to do it well – did you know that up to 70% of alliances fail and a key reason behind that is that the organisations trying it dont have a capability to partner but still run out and try to find the right partners before thinking about their internal ability to deliver on their promises. Google, Microsoft and others like them may have some attractive assets (cash, brand, software et al) but if they and others want to win with partnering more needs to get done than it does today….for some free resources around how to partner well try alliance brand or see ALLIANTIST – best wishes

Indeed, cross-platform compatibility of software is extremely important. Even more important is the ability for software to scale and adapt its code automatically to be able to run anywhere – mac, pc, web browser, console, etc etc etc. I just read over on information week that IBM employees who tried macs wanted to stick with them. The only problem was that they didn’t have all the software tools then needed. If custom software ran on a cross platform app engine, like googles app engine, that could start to solve some of the issues here…
