Now-a-days it's consumer driven.
I was exposed to Linux on bulletin boards, but didn't really pursue it until the World Wide Web came about. If we were still in the bulletin board age, EMC2 might not have gotten out of NIST's domain, although it's hard to keep a good idea a secret. -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/index.html California, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing. http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
