You never buy DNA. It has to be there in you. Tell me one example who bought a plaform in and made it successful. HP never had a chance. Leo was dreaming when he bought WebOS. I'm glad the dream is over sooner than later.

- jsnell 15y agoHe didn't buy WebOS. It was the previous CEO.
- nitrogen 15y agoTell me one example who bought a plaform in and made it successful. This is the kind of discussion that seems interesting on the surface but in reality has little substance, but here's your one example: QDOS->MSDOS.

- nitrogen 15y agoAre you comparing an OS a single guy wrote with WebOS? ...and here we go down the rabbit hole. If I answer your question, which expands the scope of discussion beyond what the GP post was requesting and beyond the scope of my comment, then you respond, and I respond again, by the end of the thread we could be discussing the relative merits of tuna versus salmon. I was responding with a specific counterexample to a specific point (which I quoted) raised in the original post. Nothing more. Or, if you prefer a one-word answer: "yes." Now, I'm going to leave this thread to its proper place in my mind, which is to say, out of it :).
- rbanffy 15y agoI was telling you the example is bad because it's not like Microsoft made a complex acquisition of a company with a product line with QDOS. They just bought a couple thousand lines of x86 code any single person could read and understand completely.
