Submission + - IBM to spend record $1.5 billn on security in 2008

Stony Stevenson writes: IBM has announced a major security initiative encompassing products, services, and research to help businesses manage risk and keep information safe. To support the initiative, IBM said it plans to spend US$1.5 billion on security-related projects in 2008.

IBM believes that the siloed approach to information security has failed and plans to recalibrate its compliance and security offerings to help companies manage risk through a unified strategic approach across what it calls the five domains of information technology security: Information Security, Threat and Vulnerability, Application Security, Identity and Access Management, and Physical Security.

I have done a ton of work with Office 12 and users, and the curve isn't as bad as you think, I swear. It looks like it will be, but I was really impressed with how fast everyone got the ribbon bar.

Seriously, though, the fact that he overlooked the OpenDocument blows me away. You can now construct an Office document on the server that can be read by several different software suites - including Microsoft - with out invoking a black box. Might ... just ... change ... everything.

Fred began building my new development workstation today. I'm hoping it will being a new level of geekdom to my frail existance. It is a P4 2.8 with hyperthreading, 1 gig of ram and an 80 gig mirrored drive. The Asus P4P800 motherboard supports RAID 0 and 1 natively, along with IEEE1394 and 8 usb ports.
