How the Web OS has begun to reshape IT and business

• old-gregg 17y ago
  Ever wondered how "business types" who sell enterprise software come up with impressive looking "bullshit diagrams"? Yeah, those where a SQL Server instance becomes a "data cloud"? This one certainly beats them all: it includes every single buzzword known to humanity and is shaped to resemble a flying saucer emitting religious looking beams from the middle: http://i.zdnet.com/blogs/web_os_2009_small.png http://i.zdnet.com/blogs/web_os_2009_small.png And yeah, it features Web 3.0 too, just to make sure you're looking at the latest and greatest.

    I intended to say pretty much the same thing, and ask whether someone could offer a buzz word to English translator. I haven't seen the likes of this since the Dot-bomb era.

    Good points. SaaS and the "Cloud" are definitely a growing phenonmen, but I think this adds more hype than information and that its prediction that the Cloud will take over all computing is a little premature to say the least.

    Not that I don't disagree with your analysis - but I am not sure what you mean by "religious looking beams" ?
