Microsoft to me has always been good at &#x27;businessy&#x27; stuff. Embrace partners, embrace developers, and keep users somewhat satisfied. If you help others make money, they&#x27;re going to love you. Apple has been good at &#x27;designy&#x27; stuff. Wow and embrace users, keep developers and partners somewhat satisfied. This explains why Apple doesn&#x27;t really care about backwards compat, or communicating&#x2F;co-coordinating releases with partners, etc. It looks like MS is taking a leaf out of Apples book. I wonder if they can continue to do the other stuff as well.
