大意：
微軟跟Google 在這篇文章裡都被電爆了...
他們在做著消費者不需要的東西...
提到了微軟買下Groove這個公司而讓首席工程師 Ray Ozzie到微軟來工作。
而以作者角度來看，Ray Ozzie 最終的工作成果是Windows Live Mesh，
一個消費者不會想要用的 file synchronization tool.

大意：
FogCreek提供 host-based, installable 兩種軟體的版本，後者帶來較多的營收。
但後者也需要你較多的 effort 去 maintain. 大部分的事情都是如此，輕鬆、易於維護的軟體與business model, 帶來的金錢
通常小於客製化、需要比較多 customer support 的軟體與business model.
但注意有許多要注意的細節部分。例如：對FogCreek公司來說，他們是在推出 installable 版本許多年之後，
才推出 host-based 版本。所以如何取決營收與維護成本，仍需要多考慮。
嘉言錦句：
"Until they do, they won't be solving problems for people."
"Good design seems like the easiest thing to copy, but, watching Microsoft trying to copy the iPod, turns out to be not-so-easy. Great design is a gnarly problem, and can actually provide surprisingly sustainable competitive advantage."
The only way to keep growing--as a person and as a company--is to keep expanding the boundaries of what you're good at."
