This is the pith of the question. If you knew what you're doing, anything from Microsoft takes longer to do than doing it the right way. If you don't know what you're doing, M$ gets you most of the way there for a cost. Management has historically actually preferred that labor not know anything. Therefore, Microsoft is Business. If management thinks that's okay and you think that's okay, jump into bed with them. If you don't like the deepening recession, run like hell, because if you think about it, it's exactly that kind of business that sucks all the value out of things. (And that's exactly what recession and depression are all about.) -- Joel Rees (The above opinion probably does not reflect the opinions of my employer.) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
