Quick Hits

• File under "private cloud," sub-category "this is why we can't have nice things" - the support matrix for OpenStack, Linux, and hardware is going to be fun.

• BMC Sues ServiceNow, Claims Widespread Patent Infringement- Plaintext - there are so many complaints about cutting and pasting that I have. This is one of them. As the man says, "Who ever, in the history of anything, wanted to preserve formatting when pasting? Nobody, that's who. You always want the format of the destination." Yup.
