Business Mobility Could Cause Future Problems, Says Forrester

,----[ Quote ]
| A Microsoft-commissioned study by Forrester shows that worker 
| mobility and office decentralization will become key issues for 
| the enterprise and SMBs (small- to medium-sized businesses) in 
| coming years, possibly creating substantial challenges for IT 
| administrators. Microsoft is using the report as the basis for a 
| promotional push for Windows 7, its upcoming operating system due 
| for general release on Oct. 22.

Sensationalism: The Real Open-Source Security Risk

,----[ Quote ]
| I won't take InfoWorld to task for how it spins the story; this is news
| coverage, not an opinion piece. And it's a fair description of how Forrester
| wants to position its research. (I can't say the same thing about a
| subsequent InfoWorld blog post that accepts Forrester's conclusions without
| questioning them.)
|
| This taste leaves most readers hungry for details. How does Forrester
| define "open source?" Are we talking about desktop applications, server
| software, or both? Where does Forrester draw the line between enterprises and
| SMBs -- and how does that distinction blur the inevitable differences between
| how midsize and small businesses view these issues?
