Return to the Gulag

I've written in the past about how future success in technology is going to be around execution and not necessarily about superior technology. I have been painfully reminded of this fact over the past 4 hours as I left my Mac Powerbook at home by accident and have been using my Dell this morning. In 4 short hours, it has frozen opening a PDF file, again printing another PDF file, yet again trying to play a Real Time clip and now Outlook is messing with me. Check out the new PC/Apple ads.

As an investor or an entrepreneur, it always makes sense to go out into the field and use your product or service as a customer. There is no better way to truly understand its short-comings or advantages. Also, buy a Mac!
