Here is a major technology company, telling its customers to go conduct a manual audit of hundreds of client systems throughout every customer establishment, as though it's 1975 again. For a company doing things like Autonomic Computing, this is a *major* failure in technology deployment, for which IBM should be dragged over the coals by the management of the victim customer sites being subjected to this astounding nonsense.
