[...but there was probably a real limit on resources until Win95 hit the streets. I'd guess that had more to do with the "slow" response of Microsoft than anything.]

Interesting. You might be right.

[Kind words don't mean much...]

I see the current press spins as a symptom of "arrogance" biting them as you and Gerald have been predicting. I suspect that's what Ballmer is getting at in the interview, that they don't intend to be less aggressive, but they're going to try to be more sensitive to the position they put their partners in, for example, the line about giving partners more advanced warning when they become aware they have competitive products under development.

[I'll be impressed when Microsoft stops treating everyone that doesn't believe in the inevitability of Bill's dreams as idiots.]

Come on. Try telling a NSCP person there's more important computer work than the web. They'll call you an idiot. McNealy and Ellison are constantly calling non-believers idiots. Many on this thread are quick to call one an idiot should they disagree with their vision of the future. It's unfair to lay this at MSFT's doorstep.
