Fortunately I could develop using GNU compilers and then make a few changes (and the odd bug report) to get performance benefits from Intel's compilers. Those benefits are now largely irrelevant -- CPU improvements mean the workloads have become I/O bound. Large enterprises (such as my former employer) have all sorts of legacy tools that only work on MS Explorer. In my case a massive redesign of the pay system should have been the start of a move to modern, platform independent, designs. The new pay system was supposed to reduce the number of staff (needed to do manual workarounds for limitations/bugs of the legacy system), but came with a new set of limitations/bugs that needed even more staff and many cases of incorrect pay. I suspect this experience delayed replacement of other problematic legacy systems. People are going to continue being hurt, even killed (Boeing) by mismanaged IT in large organizations. When I consider investing in a company I look at their web sites, participation of their IT people in standards organizations and conferences, etc. -- George N. White III
