Here’s a look back on Reboot, Day 1
Found Peter Rukavina’s comments on Reboot…and apparently Peter’s the guy who made the comment on “enterprise software” that I wholeheartedly agreed with..
And.. here’s the Reboot Flickr Group, for all the fun and wacky photos from the conference..
Some nice pics from the stream

I think Enterprise Software might be a conceit designed to charge business more for the same staff. It’s also perhaps an attempt to draw an artificial line in the sand between “real” software and “cool” software (”sure those hacker kids can code up this app in PHP, but it won’t scale to the Enterprise). Whatever it is, it’s always seemed annoying.

Indeed. It’s seems more like a marketing term designed to sell more than anything that can quantitatively be measured. Wonder what metrics are used to qualify software as “enterprise”.
Speaking of “enterprise” software..
this is a nice example =)

And worse than the myth of scalability is the myth of ‘user friendly dependability’. “Oh yes, your software is free… but because its free it must be hard to use.” True both in my Blackweb affected field and often true in the rest of it. More expensive, as of right now (not necessarily true, say 6-7 years ago) means slower, more complex, steeper adoption curve and marriage to a platform.
