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......
Hi Mark,
This email was dated Jan. 7 - 2004 after Panther OSX10.3 was
released in Oct. 2003.
Before Tiger OSX10.4 was released in April 2005.
I wonder if Jim Allchin still works for Microsoft .... or owns a Mac
now ;-) ??
Cheers,
Ronni
When Microsoft asks you, "Where do you want to go today?" Tell them,
"Apple!"
