"stealing, bullying, and leveraging only works for so long"

Grant Huhn on IBM's surpassing of Microsoft in market capitalization: "Maybe stealing, bullying, and leveraging only works for so long. Maybe vision always, eventually wins."  More at Business Insider.

I worked for IBM in the early 90's when Microsoft started kicking their butts. It was a weird time. I was a college student working parttime at IBM and witnessing the company's first lay-off ever. Next thing I know I am training 25-year IBM veterans how to answer the tech support phones and watching IBM'ers lose their minds because their world was falling apart.
