One of Jobs’ statements really rung true for me, ie, “Hardware makers think that software will take care of itself.... it won’t.”
Man, is that ever true.
One of Apple’s strengths by developing their own hardware and software under the same roof is that the product team can’t play “let’s point the finger” game. I cannot enumerate the times we had to code around some big of outlandish stupidity on the part of some interface chip maker because they knew nothing about writing drivers or other s/w to actually USE their chip.
I could draw a parallel to DEC in the 80’s. VMS on the VAX was the best super-mini out there, because the hardware and software guys talked to each other and resolved issues before they became customers’ issues.
