I think how you answer this question says a lot. I'm not sure how I would answer this question myself.
Would you refuse to sell on principle? Or because as Paul says, Microsoft is dead?
Or do you just take the money, principles be damned?
- whacked_new 20y agoJust to split hairs here, is there a difference between principles damned at $1, and principles damned at $1e7? Also, Microsoft might be "dead" but they still provide value to their customers, whatever it is. While Vista might be way overhyped and/or overpriced, it can still do useful things. If your product reaches more customers and results in significant benefits for them, why not leverage MS's position? The principle then, is not about money. It's about your product's purpose. Hotmail for example.
- jkush 20y agoI agree - it's just that I've met too many people who live by principle and not by the situation.
- timg 20y agoJust because Microsoft is dead, doesn't mean you can't take their money..
