- bhc3 16y agoRight...there are those guys.
- tomjen3 16y agoTrue, but they are also statical outliers - most big bosses don't understand the market or the tech. And even then I wonder: what would Microsoft be if Bill had understod the internet? He blew the company on that one. Might somebody who would not have been so high up in the hierarchy see that one comming?
- Tamerlin 16y agoI think the blame for that lies more on Ballmer than on Gates, but the point still holds. Microsoft could take a lesson from its own games division, though. It largely ignores them -- and they're largely successful and creative. :)
- duffbeer703 16y agoThey talk about 2 or 3 "gating" processes where a decision is made to go from idea to prototype or from prototype to production. I'm sure that Jobs/Gates don't get involved until you start hitting the prototype stage.
