The company that's based in New England and misspells the name of a Massachusetts
town in its name has a new version of its network-management software. An almost
overwhelming feature list is

And, yes, English readers, we know that you had a

Another short RCPU today, as duty calls at the mothership. It doesn't really
matter, though, because we're in a news trough. About all there is to talk about
is Microsoft flailing around looking to buy a Web company like a nerdy guy trying
to find a dance partner at a junior high cotillion.
Now that Microsoft has backed

This is a professional environment, mostly.

FYI: You're in for some exceptionally short RCPUs this week because your editor

but the shouting and the endless speculation
and analysis.

and a sleepy dog. The poor man's

"SA," in this case, meaning Software Assurance, not South American,
South African or Stunningly Awesome. Microsoft has acquired some IP from partner

It'll be a short-ish RCPU today, as we're kind of swamped with pesky magazine
stuff. Darn print model! Won't it die already? (Just kidding...especially you
print advertisers. It was only a joke, really. We
love
print.)
Anyway, SAP got
a bit of a spanking after its quarterly earnings announcement this week.
Among other factors, part of what dragged SAP down was weakness in its Business
ByDesign product, the German vendor's enterprise SaaS offering. Quoth the article
linked above:
