How to Start a Startup
How to Start a Startup: "You need three things to create a successful startup: to start with good people, to make something customers actually want, and to spend as little money as possible. Most startups that fail do it because they fail at one of these. A startup that does all three will probably succeed."
Agreed. (co-founder of a former start-up)

Forbes.com: IBM In Denial Over Lotus Notes#Static#Static
Forbes.com: IBM In Denial Over Lotus Notes#Static#Static: "The marketing folks in IBM's Lotus division are starting to sound like the Black Knight in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, who insists he's winning a fight even as he loses both arms and legs: ''Tis but a scratch,' the Black Knight declares after one arm is lopped off. 'Just a flesh wound,' he says after losing the other. 'I'm invincible!' "

Ozzie eager to set up new 'Office' | Tech News on ZDNet
Ozzie eager to set up new 'Office' | Tech News on ZDNet: "What do you intend to tell Microsoft employees? What's your message to them going in, as one of the three CTOs?
Ozzie: Honestly, I haven't given it that much thought. If I had to, it'd be, 'What can I offer you from 20 years of some success and many mistakes?' You learn from your mistakes."

Microsoft acquires Groove
"My guess is that Groove's integration in the MS Windows desktop will accelerate the collaboration market, and start a fruitful competition in this important IT-segment."
Valuable insight. However, I would push back about this very last point made in this comment:
"Apropos document based: I am not aware of a more powerful e-editor than the native editor "Notes-networks" would have. This is not a paper editor Groove is confined to with MS Word. The documents created with "Notes-Networks" native editor are even open for integration with corporate data (vision for "Notes-networks" Rel-7: could you please include this NSFDB2 DAV-table in your departmental application that we can tap your data easily for our transaction systems. YesSir - 15 minutes later)."
“Office Information Bridge” provides exactly that corporate data awareness for Office documents already today.
