Re: Changing Standards - Flashback

I recall a statement that stayed with me till this day when he was asked how
he deals with competitors and how does MS stay on top as the market leader.
His answer was, honest to god,  no lie, this is what he said:

       "We stay ahead of our competitors by changing the standards every
two years."

See Joel Spolsky's Fire and Motion article
(http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000339.html, from the
mid of the page), talks about a very similar (same?) thing regarding
MS.
