Despite the news from yesterday about my work, there's some upbeat stuff from Forrester:

Spending on information enablers (business intelligence, portals and so on), systems management, security and desktop PC applications will outpace spending on enterprise applications and to a lesser degree spending on middleware.

Maybe they wrote that before the 23, or so, software companies preannounced bad news. Hopefully their predictions about systems management are still good.
