John Montgomery Good Quotations

In case you don't know, the VS and .Net Framework development teams have a customer board building applications on our beta software, and we need them all to say we're good to go before we can ship (or to tell us that their development schedule doesn't allow them to upgrade to the latest release candidate and thereby excuse themselves from the process). So yesterday we got the signoff from the 24 customers (any one of whom can stop our ship cycle).

The story in a nutshell is there's a complex ecosystem that sits around developing applications and making money off of them ? And Microsoft has shown itself pretty good time and again at figuring out how people can make money off of its products.
