We have a history of trying to be all things to all people, and our
structure makes saying no hard and unpopular.  It appears as though
competitors with checkbooks are saying no to each other, not that technical
leaders are saying yes to good projects and implementations that have
technical merit.

I believe that part of the all-things model is due to our Corporate
structure which has the notion that they all have to differentiate their
cloud from the others.  For more on how that is working out see DefCore, et
al.  At the technical level we like to say we are beyond that, and I
believe that many really are.  But many is not all and the results are
clearly not acceptable because where we are having this conversation...
