Google Is the Sarah Palin of Enterprise Vendors

Some companies are cut out to deal with enterprise customers, and some companies don't have what it takes. Google seems to want to make the leap to becoming an enterprise vendor, but it's not in the same class as EMC, IBM, Oracle and HP. The reason? Like last year's Republican candidate for VP, Google apparently doesn't like to do its homework.

We all remember Sarah Palin. Like many, I got too got excited about the difference she would bring to the 2008 U.S. presidential campaign. She showed well at events, and she looked good on paper. Then came her interviews, and suddenly she was the new Dan Quayle -- or, basically, another person who trades on looks and luck and doesn't figure doing homework is actually necessary.
