He states a truism, makes it sound profound by using emphatic
hyperbole, then states his wrong conclusion as fact. One shouldn't
expect less of the M$ PM mindset, even from a former one.
For example, he states "1. Availability, 2. Latency and 3.
Reliability" as the major differences between the local and remote
resources. That difference would apply to any two different medium
like a pair of telephones and a pair of cans connected by a string.
Does that mean you couldn't say "hello" over both?
