James Farrar focuses on the business balance between financial performance and social-environmental impact.
Watch your step... the slipping and sliding continues. Now Office 2007 will also wait until the year it is named after to see the light of day in any meaningful way. And a shakeup that looks more like a refelxive shudder than deliberate planning with a real vision is underway.
I'm all but offline today, attending David Allen's Getting Things Done Roadmap seminar. The hotel has $12-a-day net acccess that doesn't seem to work so I'm resorting to just better than dial-up speeds via my Treo to post this.
So Michael Robertson is getting all disruptive on us again. The Linspire/Gizmo Project dude is jumping on the free AJAX word processing bandwagon with ajaxWrite.
As I've been following the very noisy conversation about the Vista ship date slipping and the resulting impact it will likely have on Q4 PC sales, I had an idea.

We've got the makings of a classic salon discussion right out of the playbook of Gertrude Stein emerging here at ZDNet. Dion Hitchcliffe, responding to a thought-provoking post about the nature of change by Mitch Ratcliffe, presents his perspective on what the increasing availability of information means as a change vector for societal evolution.

I'm a huge college basketball fan. I know a lot of you are. If you're not, please excuse the off-topic post.
I've just wrapped an intense week of strategic planning at my company which has left me in a reflective state of mind. While I was wrestling with choices that will have a profound influence on the future direction we will take, it appears that two guys named David have been making similar decisions about their respective futures. One got a lot of play in the blogs, the other not so much.
Whoa! I know they did this once before but is the public ready for a one-two punch same-day release of Windows Vista and Office 2007 later this year? This would be a bold move - I'm not sure it's wise.
