Sean, you’ve caputured very neatly something I’ve been thinking through for a while. He helped me crystallise my thoughts and I’ll post about them shortly. it also ties back to what I originally thought of with the Blue Monster with Hugh Macleod - http://www.gapingvoid.com/bluemonster

anyway, thanks for helping…and I think you’re right

Steve

@MikeJ - This indeed is probably true, but as you say it’s sad they are in the background. Ultimately, I think the issue is cultural — ie getting people at MSFT to have more pride in their work.

While I don’t disagree with the Enderle quotation above, it’s worth noting that he’s a huge hack, and is usually really, really wrong in his analysis.
