It is a strange time we are entering in the automotive arena. For the first time the game is wide open. Hybrids of all designs are coming in, and slowly the combustion engine is on its way out. Before, new ideas, I'm supposing, died because there was no need, by the BIG three to divert from the norm. Small changes to drive trains, slight modifications to motors......but NOW........its wide open not only to
body design, but now propulsion. Sometimes the thought "how can he possibly break into the market" hits me, but the market has already been broken. Seems the BIG 3, and probably European makers, are all
trying different concepts. Its anyones ball game, and he who comes up with the best reliable, highest MPG device, wins.

First there was Apple (originality) then there was Bill Gates (strategy)

His genius is how to grow a company, his strategies and his
ability to get the best talents to work for him is why he is where
he is -- is Joe made of the same stuff? -- can he employ and move the pieces on the chess board that adeptly? -- stay tuned and we shall find out.

The litmus test is promises on schedule and minimum contradictory
moves

Bill, butt in any old time -- isn't that what this thread is here for?

Gates and Allen recognised their lack of management skills early on and hired a Harvard classmate right out of the B school to do the managerial bit. That fellow is also a billionaire now, and I doubt he knows how to write a program, but boy can he manage. If you watched the senate hearings on the computer industry last week, you might also notice that Gates isn't just a nerd noshing on Twinkies anymore; the guy's a management whiz now.
