Ultimately, Valdis is right, Redmond cares about profit, and creating an OS that is irritating to the everyday jackass does not help their profits.Wait, so is he right when he said all they care about is profit, was he right when he said they intentionally missed it or both?
No, he isn't. But they're an enterprise, and they like money more than good code. The Marxist product-based profit posture enforced in the referred software vendor is a curse through which organizations let quality go for the mere financial benefit of some banking accounts. Agile methodologies and its horrible "extremme programming" (XP) premises constitute a few examples. -- Marcio Barbado, Jr. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
