Darryl Taft at eWeek certainly gets the tribute right – this is a big retirement from IBM, and the companys rise in Enterprise software is in no small part due to Irving Wladawsky-Berger. He really steered IBM in the right directions on the software side: Open Source tolerant in contrast to Redmond, unflagging cross platform, and constantly amassing software assets for data manipulation in all its forms among other things. Kudos for making this a headline story at eWeek.
