Wow, very interesting. It's an admission that they
made their own software work
better with their other
software than with Novell's or anyone else's, and
that
it was a traditional plan to do it:
It is a fine line
(compatibility
vs. enhance), however we should focus on making Chicago
and
Daytona&Cairo work better than Chicago and Novell. I'm not saying
that
the UI shouldn't be improved, but I'm saying that much more focus
should be put
into making our systems seamless together. If we don't
do this, then we are not
using the strength of being in the same company.
One of (the?) largest new
business area within MS is the server
business. It is clear that tight
integration with the client is
required to win. It's no different than our apps
in Office. Sure
our apps will work with other apps, but they sure work better if
they
are our apps. (Maybe Lotus is a better example here, I don't
know.) Or WordPerfect. Jim Allchin, 1994.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
