How much stupidity do you think is involved when billions of dollars are on the line?


Well, there are 435 US Congressional representatives.


On a long enough timeline, everyone is an imbecile.


I'm sure Microsoft has the answer to that question. Or at least the experience.


A cheap jab at Microsoft with no citations that doesn't even follow the conversation, in an Apple thread no less. I'm shocked.


I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but I'm a Windows user.

If you can't recall any egregious Microsoft failures, you're the fanboy trapped in a distortion field. Microsoft may have a lot of things going for them, but they are ginormous klutzes.

Do you seriously think that there isn't stupidity involved in any billion-dollar projects and companies?


Charlie Sheen is also a ginormous klutz! What does he have to do with this discussion (besides the fact that he's a rockstar who should be a part of all discussions)? Nothing. Neither does Microsoft.


For that matter, Apple made plenty of boneheaded moves themselves. Hockey-puck mouse, iPod socks, and of course, the under-resourced clusterfudge that is MobileMe and its progenitors.
