Stacy, it would be great if journalists could learn to ask the magic question, when IBM execs talk about the future and strategy, simply ask them if its in their plan of record. If they don’t answer yes, then its good, if not then it aint going to happen in the next 18-months…

Quan didn’t get into too many specifics, and an IBM spokeswoman noted that the company plans to make an announcement in February about Tivoli and cloud computing.

YUCK! I worked customer support many moons ago and we had to use Tivoli to log callsi. I can say without a doubt it is by far one of the worst corporate products I have EVER used. It is on par with Lotus Notes, and that’s saying something.
