The point of the article - which addresses the "people who really care" - is this: Let's say I want to develop a killer app in an industry dying for one: health care. As I looked to apply technology to develop that killer app what constraints would I have to consider? 5 years ago one of them would've been Windows, but today it isn't. It's that simple: if I want to innovate today - disrupt markets - I don't need to care about Microsoft. The article is saying that these people looking to innovate and disrupt markets are the "people who really care" and the author is saying MS isn't a consideration for them any longer; it's not a development constraint. Think of it like operations maintenance (OM). How many of you want to work OM? Any creative developer runs from OM like the plague, but it's still needed and people do it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| ColdFusion MX7 by Adobe® Dyncamically transform webcontent into Adobe PDF with new ColdFusion MX7.
