I was the featured launch analyst for Windows 95 two decades ago and there, even though the post launch was hardly flawless, Microsoft ripped Apple a new rear orifice, wounding the company so badly that one of the founders eventually had to return to save it. ...

Apple's Storm Clouds

I recently heard an amazing story about how an Apple shop had dumped Apple for Dell. Over most of the last two decades, the only time I've seen a move like this was when some change in IT forced it, and a lot of staffers subsequently would quit as a result. This move was largely user-driven. ...
