Can you imagine offering a fully scalable AD online? Having access to the code you can start doing things that Microsoft never allowed you to do ;) (Google Docs is, as far as I know, OpenOffice for example)

Microsoft AD is the ONLY reason many companies (Apple shops included) have Microsoft servers. People cannot imagine how disruptive is a fully operational Samba 4.0 AD for Microsoft. (like a fully operational space station with a planet dest

Being from Málaga, and my wife from Ronda, I can confirm what you say xD. Well, 'a few kilos' too heavy is not that bad compared with USA people :p. It's all about the change in the customs and the way we eat. Spanish gyms are full of very

Curiously my answer (I don't know if it's THE answer) is that Spanish people do not like conflict. We don't have class actions as in other countries and people are not used to claim for their rights against big companies. I think we still n

Change comes when a paradigm no longer can support the evidence of its failure and a new paradigm can replace it. All these countries (Portugal, Italy, Greece Spain... PIGS!) are now discovering that the "quality of life" was sustained in a

Everybody hates Endesa. In Spain is highly probable that when someone takes your call to a company he/she will be in South America ;) And about Spanish companies and how they treat their customers, I'm with you. This is ingrained in many me

«Oh, there are plenty of entrepreneurs, mind you. But many of them are “serial” entrepreneurs, whereby “serial” I actually mean lazy, ineffectual bums living off subsidies for years on end while they latch on to one incubator after another

Yes Davidw, but I can tell you something about quality of life... it doesn't exists if you don't have money :) Salaries in Spain for IT are so absurd: 600~1500 EUR/month in the south. If you are in the 1500EUR/month salary you are a lucky b

Same situation in Spain, incredible brain drain of IT people. In the last months ~ 40% of my IT colleagues in Spain have decided to move to other countries (UK and Germany mainly). In Spain people a few years ago said stupid things to justi

There even a not written rule in Spanish companies: «you never leave the work office before your boss». Effort in Spain only correlates to the time spent in the office and not with results. That is the reason why telecommuting never really

I'm Spanish and I approve this article! I didn't knew that there was a "Spanish Management Theory" ;), it seems we are just giving the world awesome things... like the Spanish Flu.
