Probably is a fairly heavy M$ stock holder! This kind of CIO makes me VERY nervous ... as most of these hard/fast rules normally topple a company pretty quickly. Vic, maybe you should be looking for a new pocket of "cheese".

Life must be hard! ;-) Where I'm contracting at the moment, the CIO has stated that anyone who does anything with Linux -- on any platform, but *especially* the mainframe -- will be sacked.
