It seems IBM's got an opportunity here, to co-opt an absolutely huge amount of community work. I could see targeted third-party apps for a huge scale of "users" (TSM admins), ranging from handholding for the admin who wants to remain ignorant, to the intricate mechanisms pedants like me tend to generate. All for free. And then, N years forward, if someone has clearly captured the spirit of the TSM admin in a web app, IBM can just buy them. My money is on no clear winner; we're still fighting Emacs/VI, and that's the skill-class of users you're dealing with. - Allen S. Rout - You have to ask? EMACS, of course.
