Best talk I have heard so far was from Chris O'Malley of Compuware. Taking the liberty of paraphrasing liberally, he said that the z13 technology is awesome -- so why are we not seeing more uptake on new projects at customers?
He made the point that if we (the mainframe) are to compete successfully for enterprise budgets for need to be as agile as the Linux and mobile "culture." If you owned a an enterprise project, where would you invest your budget? On a platform where people said "cool, we can have a prototype up by tomorrow" or a platform where people said "well, the RACF guy is out today, and the architecture committee doesn't meet until next month, and we'd have to open up a port on Comm Server -- not sure if those guys would be willing to do that ..."?
