By this same logic, Google is too late to the enterprise and will fail.
In other words, this article has a static view of the world in that it thinks markets "are done" and not constantly in motion.
That's a flawed view of markets as we have seen time and time again.
This is the same view people had with AOL vs. Microsoft and we know how that turned out. There was a shift in the market to broadband and AOL died.
- ForHackernews 13y ago> By this same logic, Google is too late to the enterprise and will fail. It very well might be. Google had been making a huge push to try and get "enterprise" companies to use Google Docs in place of Microsoft Office. I can only imagine that effort suffered a major setback in the wake of NSA revelations. I can't see how any serious business would trust private data to "the cloud" today.

- ForHackernews 13y agoAt least if they subpoena you directly, you're aware of it, and your lawyers can fight back. They'll probably still lose, but it's better than having your data slurped up secretly behind your back.
- rbanffy 13y agoIf your data-center is on the receiving end of such legal maneuver, they'll never tell you.
