    The author seems to have intuited their similarity by looking over their respective buzzword lists. All-in-all, the article seemed only vaguely in touch with reality. And it was targetted much more at management than technical folk, the kind of people who would ask "Should I be pushing my guys to use P2P or CORBA for the new CRM system?"

    I'm fairly sure I'm stupider now than when I started reading.
