[Dori Smith] The fact of this business is that disruptive technologies happen, whether you like them to or not. If you create them yourself, you’ve got some control over how/when it happens. If you refuse to create them yourself, you have no one to blame but yourself when you become obsolete. It’s the difference between good products and great products.

So Microsoft ‚Äî go break something. Then you’ll be interesting.

Dori (as usual) has some really great observations that I really agree with. I feel the same way, in that the stuff we’ve been putting out is just ‘boring’ lately.

In fact, Shawn and I were just talking about this the other day. Throwing some thoughts around, we talked about some "what if" situtations, such as "what if Windows just decided to ’start over’." We own Virtual PC, that could easily leverage itself in some way as part of a backwards compatibility story.

We’d certainly break a bunch of stuff, but boy that would really spice things up a bit
