We started a corporate project in BigCorp. You know: Once a corporate software is installed, you claim you're in charge of it, you can hope to get the budget for it, and you're competing with the other European teams of Big Corp. So you install as much as you can and pretend to have been delegated by BigCorp's headquarters. So we installed Artemis in a VMWare on a desktop and got it up running in the first 16 hours of the team ;)

A month later, 4 internal customers on board and 5 other apps installed, we get a new technical expert. The machine was there. He checked. No Weblogic server running. No tomcat. No database software. Not even Microsoft Word. Clean machine. Format, reinstall...

The day after, Corporate gave us the budget for a server room. \o/
