Re: Growing up is tough

As someone who works solely with SMBs a GUI is an absolute essential. Talk of 'back end servers' really shows no knowledge of how SMBs work (and I mean SMALL - like less than 10 users). They can't afford cloud services - it's still cheaper for them to install a server (yes, get some contracted support) and run multiple services on it (exchange, file and print, active directory, etc). I won't even go into the problems that cloud services have with the limited connectivity option for SMBs (try running a cloud based email solution for 10 users and cloud storage on an ADSL - even with 1mbs upload bandwidth - it sucks). That's not going to change anytime soon ....
