They do? Remind me to put that on my metrics score card as i took 3 steps back financially to move from Australia to US to become a Product Manager for the Silverlight/WPF space. I mean i had this silly ideas about wanting to change the world from within, to make sure Silverlight/WPF are better and bigger than our competitors, as well.. i spent 9 years or so using the competitor products and got fed up with being ignored on feature requests and customers like minded also being ignored. With that I also decided, that one day if I get to this role, I'd make damn sure I fight for the customers and be done with the corporate politics.
Until you just told me we get not only a slice of the revenue, but we are goaled on how many customers we can steal ideas from... that's awesome news for me, now to negotiate with my bosses as at the moment that isn't what I'm being goaled on. Like I said, you're misinformed Silky - but i could be lying, as it's my word against yours after all and who can really trust anyone that's got Microsoft next to their name <insert evil empire quip here> p.s I'm being sarcastic as this has degenerated into yet another "Silky thread on a .NET mailing list" I want to reach out to you dude, but you make it all so hard. Which city are you in, as this requires a beer/coffee/beverage conversation ;) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of silky Sent: Monday, 31 March 2008 3:41 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [OzSilverlight] Silverlight 3.0 wishlist, now's your chance.

[totally disagree with you about 'new ideas' though; but yeah, proof of ownership of an idea would be hard; hence the reason it's probably better to go the charity route rather then direct money to the first one to provide it]. but let's also not forget that this is how product managers get paid; to find and implement ideas for the products then the get a % of the product sales - directly relating to the features within. > cheers, > Stephen -- http://lets.coozi.com.au/ There's not a problem I can't fix, because I can do it in the mix. ------------------------------------------------------------------- OzSilverlight.com - to unsubscribe from this list, send a message back to the list with 'unsubscribe' as the subject.
