Look at this article:
http://www.prelert.com/blog/623/Fair enough prelert tries to make their money but I spot this:
"KPI’s
probably won’t disappear any time soon, but predictive analytics tools
for IT operations, such as Prelert’s, will increasingly become
indispensable for predicting and tracing the roots of performance
issues."
KPI can be anything, I just invented a new one: time to find a needle in haystack, let's call it short: Time To Needle.
Hence, I think KPIs will stay with us forever. There always will be performance of something to measure and express.

What is the important thing in GUI?
I just read this article:
http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/european-technology/ok-so-stick-with-windows-xp-but-how-big-a-risk-do-you-run/1627?tag=nl.e101&s_cid=e101&ttag=e101
After reading the whole article out, I started wondering what is the best thing I like in Windows XP the most.
It's GUI.
There's something in common in Windows XP, Samsung TouchWiz or LG Smart TV GUI (its biggest sense can be seen in Home Dashboard) are EASY and SIMPLE or CLEAR, English dictionary suggests me to say legible. This, plus the fact those GUIs colorful in kind of elegant way (to me, some people may see they're kitch) makes me to stay and use it and enjoy.
I'll never forget those long hours spent on freshly new installed Windows XP systems, while working with HTML, JavaScript and PHP pages back in 2012/2013. So modern, user friendly and so cool Windows XP seemed to be so was the work with tools and apps. On top of that, music being played in WinAmp was adding a charm to those long evenings and nights over my computers. In fact, there's kind of sentiment in my generation and older too - Windows XP was the first one in Windows series which I didn't have to reinstall at least annually.
And now, well, XP is going to sunset in 12 months. Pity. Sentiment is there. And just a greatly simple GUI is something I cannot understand why MS gave up.
