As we approach launch, it truly appears to be getting better all the time. It is clear Microsoft has been holding some things back for the launch ...

"A number of us have been arguing the administration isn't taking this threat seriously enough," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, said. "The likelihood of a cyber 9/11, given how connected and poorly protected our infrastructure systems are, is almost certain this decade. It really isn't even a question of if, just when and where."

The technology market is a graveyard of companies that had potential and lost their way either to fail or be gobbled up and lose their identity. Netscape, Novell, DEC/Digital, Palm, Transmeta, ATI, ROLM, Northern Telecom, and FLIP are all names of companies that have left us as independents or completely over time.

I was watching "The Daily Show" the other night and Jon Stewart walked through the failures of the Obama administration, concluding that anyone who did this badly couldn't be reelected if not for the Democrats' secret weapon. He then showed Mitt Romney as that secret weapon, along with a number of troubling clips that made a powerful point about the impressive number of mistakes Romney is making.
