Why I was worried

I'm not proud of it, and I think it would have been better
not to have worried, but I was worried, because I know that
the U.S. has ten times as many lawyers per capita than
Europe has; I know that the U.S. is a litigious society; and
I was naive about how predominant Linux had become in the
marketplace.

I'm not worried now.

Thanks for the great column, Chris.

Private PaaS for the Agile Enterprise

If you already use virtualized infrastructure, you are well on your way to leveraging the power of the cloud.

In today’s hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.
