I'm a big fan of anyone who's blatantly honest, and CEOs especially, since they have their (future) careers on the line. Admit your faults? What a novel idea!

I agree with the sentiments made by Schmitty, except for this line:

> Schmidt called cloud services “the death of IT as we know it.”

Then who's going to take care of our devices that connect to the cloud? It's not death, it's downsizing. Agree that it's inevitable, disagree on the magnitude.
