That's good.  Too bad your mandate is not that but instead something =
specific that according to you does not exist.  Worse still, something =
you aren't building.

  Can you imagine MS even pretending to plan to have a tech which will =

  "current" 8-12 years from now?=20

We have you pretending.  "Current" is full of fads.  My
suggestion to = you if you don't want to be in exactly the position that
you claim to = fear is to not tie yourself to a specific format.
