Disagree. You don't need 10 years in IT to understand the meaning of: "M$ allowed customers to use their house-keys to open everyone's office safe, lied about it for 2 years, and still doesn't have a plan for fixing it".

McNeally was simply wrong, but despair is easier than fixing things, so a lot of people went with despair. The popularity of cloud and SaaS is the result. But this isn't a foretold destiny; just don't "trust" people you don't actually trust.

Nah, no one outside tech cares.
And not even that they shouldn't care. They just don't pay attention and don't care.
