Let me offer you something that they are doing that many other companies are not doing in the technology arena in particular and in the business world in general and that is: innovating. I can't say that I know exactly why this is, but if you look over our American business landscape you will see a terrible fear of innovation and risk and failure. American businesses on the whole are being told that they are successful by Wall Street and profit number standards while not realizing that if they continue at their same pace of innovation they soon will be looking in the mirror and they will be Ford, or GM.

And yet the world is rife with companies that can't even get these basics right. As far as eating your own dogfood, I can't believe many developers were using VS.NET 2003 (and 2005, from what I hear) before it was released. > But this piece, as fluffy as it is, doesn’t say much about management

Exactly. And yet the world is rife with companies that can’t even get these basics right.

As far as eating your own dogfood, I can’t believe many developers were using VS.NET 2003 (and 2005, from what I hear) before it was released.
