Microsoft's Crazy Claim - Server 2003

[quote="TANKERx"][quote="Microsoft"] You've got the green light for a 12-month development project....... You have three months to do it.

Microsoft Windows Server 2003[/quote]

So, in that three month period, what are Microsoft expecting you to do?

[list]
Plan a feasibility study

Run a feasibility study

Present to the board/decision makers to authorise purchase (we all know that management never take long to make decisions)

Purchase necessary hardware upgrades

Purchase software and software upgrades

Plan rollout

Install hardware and software

Iron out problems

Plan the development project (remember, it was a 12 month project and you've been given three months)

Get all developers trained-up in the newly installed Visual Studio .NET

Try and compress that 12-month project into what's left of the 3 months you were given.

[/list:u]

Ah, but you see, here's the magic! Microsoft makes things so efficient with it's DLL conflict protection that cutting more than 9 months out of a project is really quite reasonable. Don't you think?[/quote]

Just can't help it, you are not strange because your friend was born in a manger YOU ARE ACTUALLY NORMAL.

I saw a man with tattoo on his big fat belly,
It wiggled around like marmalade jelly,
It took me a while to catch what it said,
'Cos I had to match the rhythm of his belly with my head...

As for M$, yeah a lack of DLL conflicts could save 9 months of banging your head on the wall in frustration.
