If you would like to hear this message again, please hold. If you hold, it repeats, then cuts off the connection. I've had more Macs than I can count, going back to one of the first 128s off the line in 1984. But this was the last straw. Smart trade, Steve.
Markets are conversations.
All Microsoft products with version numbers upwards of 2 are the visible half of a vast conversation between Microsoft and its users. The size of that conversation grows for a very good reason. Marketing 102 is about doing the same with the rest of the conversation's participants, which in the case of the platform business includes other developers. What too few companies in the computing business understand is that successful adaptation over long periods of time requires constant and caring conversation with customers, users and developers. At least in the realm of Linux with Netatalk and Samba, all my systems work great together.
