Thinking about the trend of IBM products compared to MS and Opensource solutions, I have had always this feeling. IBM is dragging behind the market.

It’s now 10 years I am working professionally with IBM products and very ofter I had the feeling to excuse IBM for the lacks of his products. Sometimes they offered excellent backbones but they lacked on the user interfaces or on fancies things.

Now, I think the trend is changing, with Quickr 8.1 and I finally feel like IBM is ahead the competitors, with integrated solutions for corporate users.

I can finally propose to my users community a solution very well integrated with the existing infrastructure, easy to be used, easy to be maintained.

Nice, great job IBM,

IBM, I dedicate this song to you, hoping that it won’t happen again in the future.

Placebo – Drag

You’re always ahead of the game
I drag behind
You never get caught in the rain
When I’m drenched to the bone every time
You’re the first one to swim across the Seine
I lag behind
You’re always ahead of the game
While I drag behind

I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind

You’re always ahead of the pack
I drag behind
You posses every trait that I lack
By coincidence or by design
You’re the monkey I’ve got on my back
That tells me to shine
You’re always ahead of the pack
While I drag behind

I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind

You’re always ahead of the rest
When I’m always on time
You got As on your algebra tests
I failed and they kept me behind
I just gotta get off my chest
That I think you’re divine
You’re always ahead of the rest
While I drag behind

I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind
