I opened a bit of a hornet’s nest with an article titled "Is
Enterprise Software Doomed?" that appeared on the Sandhill newsletter.

Several kind and

intelligent folks provided keen rebuttal,
picking at some
inequities of my article born of an 800 word limit.  Yet in the end
these folks and I agreed more than we disagreed.

The bottom line is that the industry has changed (note the past tense), and
software vendors must change accordingly, or
perish.
