Subject: RE: glass vs. non-glass
Well this is what happens when you set expectation high then pull features out.
Few people know that Jaguar should have been Panther as a result Apple was
praised for Jaguar and Panther while Microsoft is already being lambasted for
crippled Vista.
[...]
I get to do a lot of columns these days, could guarantee each of these titles
not only would get published they would make the front page or pull amazing
numbers.
[...]
One thing has changed since '85 we have blogs now.
[...]
The press was taken through the product and every time a feature is dropped the
calls come in with the take that Vista is just smoke and mirrors now, I can
turn some of these but there are limitations to what I can do.
