...but then George Gilder has devolved into a neocon.
DOD is pushing hard to get major systems in “The Cloud”. In my experience, much of the motivation is that DOD has realized that it cannot adequately manage technology. They don’t have the skills. So they want to give up. They push their systems into The Cloud, and then find a company like Amazon or Microsoft to go run DOD on behalf of the government.
It would greatly amuse me if The Cloud became obsolete just as DOD systems finish their migration.
Of course, I want good things for DOD. But the government’s incompetence on all things technical has become pretty annoying.
