But that's their image. That's why they can get away with charging what they do. Their design is still considered, "rogue/maverick"...

- dredmorbius 14y agoOddly enough -- that was also Microsoft's self-image for many, many years. The were the maverick to IBM's stodgy conformist. Not that I saw them that way.
- beagle3 14y agoI don't think anyone outside Microsoft saw it that way later than 1990 or so. From talking to microsofties, though, they had the underdog/maverick image internally at least until 2005. All the techies I knew left MS long ago, and all the business people I know at MS joined in the last 3-5 years and never bought into the "underdog" image.
- rhizome 14y agoI don't know about "rogue/maverick," but I'll take "good" in a world of companies still rehashing 20 year-old laptop designs.
