subject "Losing our way...."
.... I'm not sure how the company lost sight of what matters to our
customers (both business and home) the most, but in my view we lost
our way I think our teams lost sight of what bug-free means, what
resilience means, what full scenarios mean, what security means, what
performance means, how important current applications are, and really
understanding what the most important problems are customers face
are. I see lots of random features and some great vision, but it
doesn't translate into great products.
I would buy a Mac today if I was not working at Microsoft. .......
.....Apple did not lose it's way. you must watch this new video
below. I know this doesn't show anything for businesses, but my point
is about the philosophy that Apple uses. They think scenario. They
think simple. They thik fast. I know there is nothing hugely deep in
this......
