LeBlanc: A lot of what we start delivering here is really the first level of instantiation of that vision. It's not going to be one event or one product that instantiates that. It's going to be several projects, several things over a period of time. More and more you're going to see the base monitoring capability be provided by the lower-level systems, whether it be operating systems or subsystems such as databases and the like. We're taking some of our low-level monitoring capability and we're actually building that into products like WebSphere and DB2 and others. We're taking technology from other parts of our software portfolio and we're also providing capability to parts of our software portfolio. The operating systems, as they get smarter, provide more information. As you provide more information you can do more proactive analysis of information. So the next generation of Tivoli products will have a data warehouse built in. That will enable us to collect more and more information and therefore be more proactive in management rather than reactive. The more we can make our products, the other parts of the software portfolio, self-healing and self-managing, the better those products are and the better able we are to manage the higher-level value propositions that our customers are telling us are becoming more and more important. People want to be able to do proactive service-level management so they can adapt service levels and make changes on the fly based on service levels, not just on catastrophic events that may occur.
