But setting the direction of a company, its financials, and i don't mean bean counting here, is the job of marketing. You're FOS. Marketing is constrained by what is possible -- technologically, financially, even shipping. Obviously, marketing is an essential piece of the pie. But without a technically viable product, without adequate financing, without any number of other constraining factors, marketing is useless. Even at IBM, marketing can do nothing with a product that can't be produced.
