Can you guess the time we installed the “upgrade?”
I’d take it more in stride, but this PostScript preflighting software licenses at $20k/host and stubbornly refuses to use more than one CPU/core. We were considering putting our 2 licenses on virtual hosts to at least free up some hardware, but can we really do that if it’ll consume 70% of a CPU when idle?
Add to that that you can’t run it as a service, you are requred to keep a generic user logged in at the console to run the application.
Fie on you!

An interesting op-ed by an former Microsoft VP, describing the silos that company is divided into and a bit of the internecine warfare that goes on between them.
Microsoft posted a rebuttal, and one of their point was the integration of a product called OneNote into the Office suite. This was the first I had ever heard of OneNote, so I clicked through to the demo page and found that it requires Flash.
Maybe someone should tell the OneNote team about Silverlight?

I know the reservoirs could use the boost, but still: sigh.
