Oh, yeah, I remember that :-). Yup – those were the platform days: owning the platform was the name of the game. Frankly, platform battles are exhausting. I've been working on end-user applications and solutions the past few years, and I find that I like that a lot. That's one of the many things that appealed to me about Mac BU - than chance to work on awesome products for end-users.

Hee...actually I thought it was a good interview, especially the parts talking about the joys of the banking industry. Since my current "real" job is with an insurance company that is moving from "EVERYTHING IS COBOL AND COBOL IS EVERYTHING" to WebSphere and DB2, (yes, I do drink a lot more of late), and I am the "not mainframe, not windows" guy, I can relate to that environment....
