- What's going wrong and how can it be improved?McAfee is really struggling to maintain a pace of engineering consistent with the market. Rather than innovation, a lot of product enhancements are "me too". The sprawl of products and legacy maintenance requires us to "peanut butter" resources rather than create differentiation.
