Mr ToySoldier:
I said:
1. Microsoft is placing more effort on pleasing the customer
2. My project is "strategic, innovative, and powerful"
You are out of line to conclude from my statements that I'm saying there was a "lack of effort" on customer satisfaction in the past. And what evidence in my statements "proves" that Microsoft didn't innovate in the past? It is clearly-known-to-you that you're twisting my words.
As for innovation, ever heard of natural language processing, speech recognition, an unmatched GUI programming model, COM, COM+, MTS, multiple processor support, Plug and Play, the NT protected memory model, Win9x backward compatibility with DOS, a C++ compiler that generates faster code than any other, DirectDraw, ASP, Visual Studio, ClearText, Win32 programming APIs, Office integration and programmability, DHTML support, built-in XML support, preemptive process scheduling, unrivaled Win2000 and SQL Server performance in many areas, and others?
Regardless of how you feel about how these products measure up, they ARE innovation. I think you just have a bone to pick.
When even Posner in his recognized wisdom alludes to the misfortune to the industry of no settlement, and alludes that the problem was partly because of lack of plaintiff unification, your opinion about it being good for the industry appears very humble. |
