Re: Standards; "Market Consensus"; The Smart Ones

Ornery, is it? <GG>

You said:
FYI, Intel always dictates the standard well in advance of mass market introduction.
Hmm, name some examples of that?

You said:
What you're seeing now is the market process of getting to consensus.
Like the market process for consensus in flavors of Unix? Or the market process for consensus in wireless modulation? Or the market process for consensus in DSL? 1394 Firewire? DVD-RAM? 56kb? Messaging? HTML? Hi-cap floppies?

I submit for your thoughts my belief that the strong players should observe what is going on, think through where the market needs to go, and enforce a standard by muscle.

You said:
p.s. if Intel is dumb, who's smart?
Microsoft.

God bless,
