What did Microsoft learn from Vista?
ZDNet has a very candid interview up with Jim Allchin, the co-president of Microsofts platforms and services business. In this interview he discusses many things about the Vista development as well as what they learned from the whole process.
Allchin: Well, right or wrong, that buck stops with me, because I made that decision. And this was against Steve Ballmer's direction or opinion to me. And here's the reason why I did it. In hindsight I look like an idiot.
