●● Quote of the Day: Steve Wood About Microsoft

Posted in Microsoft, Quote at 12:29 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

Summary: Quotes from one of the first Microsoft developers, who quit Microsoft in 1980

“I don’t want to work for a toy computer company [Microsoft], I’ve got real iron here at Yale. [...at Microsoft] We don’t have a manager who cares about what we’re doing [...] We don’t really have a clue as to what we’re doing from a strategic standpoint. [...] This is shitty. If you guys want to do something with a windowing package like Vision’s, then you need somebody running the group who knows about it.”

–Steve Wood, early Microsoft developer
