Did TrueCrypt go down because the NSA pulled their programmers off the team?
But this time it will be compromised and costly commercial SW.
Obviously this extends the need to define not only what differences exist between men and women, but between adults, teens, children and infants for anesthesiology and drug doses.
Given the numbers of attack vectors in data centers from social engineering to software to hardware faults, would you trust your company's IT data system ONLY to "cloud suppliers?"
Something like 2/3rds of small businesses that lose their digital data go out of business within 6 months, so it is a real risk issue to not have a totally local backup data system that can be brought up within a day.
Do you totally trust big cloud data centers?

Heavily fractured ecosystems are difficult for both OS & App suppliers. What is "working" in the real world.
Where are we going?
Pay the upgrade or you deal with the "other" costs.
Apple is pushing the envelope: Free OS updates. Works on their hardware back 4-5 years.
My suspicion is MS, likewise, must get into the hardware business & become vertical.
At your device, what else can you do?
Or at least a stock purchase must be held for at least 4 days and then any gains are 100% taxed if sold in under 4 months.

Now HP apparently seeks to blend in with the masses of the cheapest laptop designs on the Asian continent.
Who is going to match Apple for top-of-the-line laptops, which a professional can use for 5-6 years before replacement?
"there isn't enough money in the world to pay for a launch system", but wait there is enough money for a $1 trillion dollar program that has NOT achieved its stated desired results as verified by the GAO!

NASA holding onto an out-moded Space Shuttle design, crimped the US's space efforts for decades.
Welcome to the Space X Dragon and someone finally with GUTS; Elon Musk.
The upstarts with lower cost and equal or better OSs will take the customer's business. No surprise. Bundled deals to keep the price up will also fail.
Microsoft has no choice but to lower prices, significantly. That is the real world of competitive business.
But Adobe promised me if I upgraded on a special price from CS5 to CC, I'ld be able to use CC anytime and only be required to check in once-in-awhile and have lots of time after my subscription ran out to pay up or get all my files converted and back, etc. etc.
Are you telling me Adobe lies?
