> As for the "politics": I see no politics. I see no UNIX policy or politics nor Windows. I see no IBM policy nor RedHat. There are people who do software for money. Same with hardware. You develop what can you sell. Then you do software for it that you can sell too. I suppose you can do a memory bank based on frogs, write a driver for it, but i am not sure you can _sell_ that. I have my doubts that even UNIX was made from and for pure passion, undercover, in a dark garage. Hell, most business were started in a garage ...
Like some true developers said, the problem with software development is one: too many people (experts, specialists, analysts, consultants, etc.) spend their time in talking about software development and too few people are actually punching that code into the keyboards. P.S. I am not from any of the two categories from above.
