Eventually, yes, CIO's and the like are making the decisions *some* times
(ie. when a high profile project is set to use a non-company-standard
technology), but that is usually based on some sort of pilot project or
senior programmer recommendation.  What I am saying is that a lot of these
suggested technology directions come from the bottom up and then the CIO
makes a decision (usually based on the name he sees the most in trade
rags).

But it could very well be that we have lived in completely different
scenarios, so I am not going to discount you words.
