Equally true story. We used to run our own servers. A (name withheld)
sysadmin always felt he knew better than management how servers should
be configured and managed even when in fact he did not. So we went to
Rackspace, where we are treated as customers and where sysadmins manage
the resource as directed. And they're available 24/7/365.
There are two sides to this. You have a point, but so does Nicholas Carr.
