I wouldn't call the work done at PARC as 'failed research projects'. On the contrary, they were extremely successful research projects, which was a large part of the problem. A good many people at Xerox did not want to become a successful computer company, and as soon as it became clear that this was something that was not a pipe dream, but something very realisable they worked very hard at making sure that this did not happen.
