I can only find this humorous because otherwise I'll become violent. The other day I was in a meeting. Several interesting personalities were present. Here's the plan: IBM counterparts will be present here and we're to help build them "machines" for them to be able to use with all the software that we use to develop. First, they want us to try to get our software packaged. We were told before not to do that. Company policy. Now they want to do it. Why? Because they want to be able to push this software to 2-3 desktops. How long does it take to package something? Months. How about we just give them the install instructions? Guess they'll have to settle. We want more info on these "VDI"s. (and I use the term loosely, because one character doesn't want us to use the word "image". He gets angry when we use that, so we call them "VD thingies".) In fact, contrary to what we were all told previously, there is NO image for these machines. Nor can one be made. Can someone else log in at the same time? No. So why aren't we using Citrix on a Terminal Server? Or Citrix published apps? Alleged "technology issues". (FUD alert)
Someone has a brainstorm: let's ask IBM what they normally do! Answer: the client normally sets up Citrix. Huh. No kidding. Why don't we do that? Just not the way we do things around here....
