Either way you look at it Microsoft Data Center management did not follow standards or best practices in this failure. In which case it makes me wonder more about the outsourcing of corporate data much less personal data.

Accurate viewpoint - heartily agree
Your comment about technology being overwhelming is so true. If Open Source can remember this and work cooperativley in its offerings, it will achieve success (nothing brilliant in that statement I know). The working together does, obviously, happen on a lot of open source software, but I sometimes wonder about the number of projects on SourceForge that seem to overlap one another. While there does need to be the creative spark and driving force that starts a project, people also need to be willing to give up some ownership to further the overall common good. Too many choices is sometimes not good (e.g., who can wade through 80,000 or more apps on the iPhone store), and just leads to mediocrity.
