Thank you Jan-Erik; you are absolutely right.

Kerry keeps talking with a "big systems" mindset and not an
embedded systems/IoT mindset; everyone else is correctly talking
with the embedded systems/IoT mindset.

I wonder if Kerry really doesn't get it or if he understands all
too well how poorly VMS would fair in that area so instead he
keeps trying to move the discussion to an unrelated area in
which VMS has had some historical success.

Simon.

PS: I agree with you that there's a lot of hype in the IoT world;
I'm skipping over the hype for the most part in this discussion
and I'm just trying to bring some facts and reasoning to the
discussion about the technologies which are being talked about.
