HerbVic > Microsoft "needs" snappy new software releases What or when was the last snappy " Must Have" new software program produced by anyone? Software design is a niche area now, just like the Apple computer. The recent fact the Apple finally will make a Win IPod proves it can't make it on design alone. I bet there were a lot of internal debates about releasing the IPOD to the Win market and I bet Jobs was strongly against it. But in the end common sense prevailed. Which also proves no matter how much you might hate Intel/ Msft you have to sell to where the real market is. Don

Microsoft "needs" snappy new software releases a lot more often too. To be precise, the word needs has two meanings: requires (necessity) and wants (desire). I need (require) oxygen to survive and I need (want) a bigger house. Apple needs (requires) snappy new products, Microsoft needs (wants) snappy new software releases.
