BP are doing that for 18,000 laptops. Plus more and more products are allowing applications to go to clients without the clients being part of the network. take a look at G/On at www.giritech.com. Nodeless computing means not owning the client. Businesses could save a fortune.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4088979.post-86448250541062530112007-06-01T00:27:00.000-04:002007-06-01T00:27:00.000-04:00I have to agree with Jason.

At a basic level (ignoring NDA's and other contracts for a moment), it means I can develop something for a company, and turn around and sell it to the highest bidder.<BR/><BR/>I've worked with companies in the past that had the "you pay to work" mentality, and turnover is high, which means cost goes up due to inflated training expenses. <BR/><BR/>I typically go with the mentality that if a company doesn't provide me with the equipment I need, I just simply wont work with them. If I'm held liable and out of pocket, its not worth my time.John Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10741149622435353727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4088979.post-53426093209884078992007-05-31T23:19:00.000-04:002007-05-31T23:19:00.000-04:00the difference is that a company has a profit moti...the difference is that a company has a profit motive that relies on devices to be achieved. As an employee you pursue cash for the business bottom line. As a student you pay cash to learn something. If you want me to pursue cash for you and your stockholders you had better provide a system that I can be successful with. Failing to do that means that I am a freelance operator and you had better pay more than others to keep me interested. <BR/><BR/>They are different beasts with different motives. Lets not confuse them because it is convenient.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4088979.post-32898837013346159202007-05-31T19:28:00.000-04:002007-05-31T19:28:00.000-04:00my phone has had a faster processor than my laptop...my phone has had a faster processor than my laptop for almost two years now (july). i have an old thinkpad and my phone is a samsung i730.<BR/><BR/>i would never buy another laptop - maybe a umpc, though. i think it's just the death of laptop, period. maybe companies will start to nix the desktops too and go thin client. maybe all applications will move to web 2.0 and we'll all use pdaphones to access themAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4088979.post-5272342945282862502007-05-31T18:03:00.000-04:002007-05-31T18:03:00.000-04:00Gartner is a fan of the "no company laptop" idea w...Gartner is a fan of the "no company laptop" idea which is why I discount it. And Mr. Shipley is wrong. With few exceptions all the companies I've worked for (some dozen) - we did buy cell phones for employees and set up processes and procedures to manage it. And you don't have to way a few years - we are already replacing laptops with smartphones. <BR/><BR/>And your point about university students is not valid. While its useful information on know how university's tackle this threat - the acadamic environment is not the real world. Never has - never will be. Completely different model than your everyday corporation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
