A little off topic, but I have an observation to make: Standing back and looking at the past 12 months or so of industry mags I have seen them move from one obsession to another: It was NAC, then it was SOA, and now ITIL. It's almost as if there is an industry wide obsessive compulsive disorder that fixates on one "hot new thing" until something else more exciting comes along. I think the in-depth coverage is great, but I also find it amusing to follow the trends. All of the topics are relevant. Balance between them and real-world non-iconic coverage of the messy dirty on-the-ground realities of how these technologies play is what I most enjoy. I'd venture to say most IT architectures are not painted in broad strokes, and most don't just "implement ITIL", "implement SOA" and them move on to "implement NAC"...etc
