Go back another 7 years and sticking with IBM was advice I was given.

Go back 22 years instead and getting into Unix and Sun was the advice, 
based on their catalogue of applications which ran on their systems.

 HP had already put me off that by giving a colleague an early version of 
"The Unix-Haters Handbook" as part of a Unix course.

I suspect MS are in for "interesting times" in the next few years.
