Matt and Dave Podcast on IT Conversations

TAGS: Random

Matt and I were invited by Phil Windley to be a part of his Technometria podcast series along with Scott Lemon. Thanks Phil!

The group first reviews the state of customer support from technology companies. Unfortunately, some of the most well-known companies are not succeeding in making their users happy. Are bloggers having a positive impact? For example, a company may be more likely to try to make someone happy if the customer is writing in a public forum that might influence others.

In addition, an assessment of alternative operating sytems leads to a discussion of the state of Novell and how they are losing kernel developers to Oracle. Is this related to Novell's becoming more of a Linux company instead of an open source company?

Other topics discussed include Microsoft's support for the SCO lawsuit, the release of Firefox 2.0, and application generators, such as Ming and Rails.
