TWIT (This week in Tech) is normally a good podcast that I enjoy hearing. This weeks episode is exceptional. Some really good stories about the early days of computers and operating systems. The one quote I found really interesting was the comment that “If it works ship it”. The comparison being that IBM worked for perfection so they shipped less and through that Microsoft did better. I have always come from a policy of when you do something do it right. I get horribly frustrated with products that don’t work, but I do get more frustrated by vendors who never ship new releases. Looking back at those days you can easily see how MS stayed ahead of the early market by shipping what worked not what was perfect.

If you grew up with DOS then I recommend you listen to this week’s episode.
