Depressing, but not surprising. (And incidentally, for those who haven't
read it yet: that one-sentence summary is entirely accurate.)
One note of humor: they keep talking about how their interest is the
"enterprise" market. By which they mean corporations with at least a
couple of hundred machines, preferably a couple of thousand. Real
entrprising, those firms.
I've worked in enterprises and I've worked in Real Corporations, and
believe me, enterprises are more fun.

Many things are not seen in their true nature and as they really are,
unless they are seen as beautiful. Behavior is not intelligible, does
not account for itself to the mind, and show the reason for its
existing, unless it is beautiful.
