Microsofts Skyscrapr architecture site launched

Posted on by

Microsoft has just launched a community for IT architects called Skyscrapr. Skyscrapr is described as:

Skyscrapr is your window on the architectural perspective. Discover the different disciplines of system architecture, as well as perspectives on building successful systems. Check out our architects’ blogs, learn about industry trends, download webcasts, watch videos, find training, and more.

The site contains several blogs but I have trouble subscriping to the RSS feeds using Bloglines. Perhaps this is due to the site just recently being launched. The site looks promosing though and I plan to have a further look at the site later.

Hasta la Vista?

There has been lots of fuzz lately around whether IBM will move away from Windows (and not use Vista at all) and instead completely switch to Linux for desktop clients used internally.

IBMeye has an article on the subject that clarifies a lot on what IBM is doing with Windows and Linux.

I will not comment on the rumours but I can add that I run the internal IBM customized Windows XP as my primary desktop client on my Thinkpad T40 and that I also run the IBM customized Linux desktop client.
