Comment It depends on the company (and maybe the product) (Score 1) 693

by KenCrandall (#25391539) Attached to: Do Software Versions Really Matter?

It is really going to depend on the track record of your company (and, eventually of your new product itself.)

For some companies, people won't deploy ANY .0 product until there's a .1 or SP1 release. For others, they want the latest-greatest stuff regardless of the release number.

Since you're in the position of having a new product, now is the time to set the track record for it and make your 1.0 release work as perfectly as possible. If it is slow/buggy/crashy/bad, then being versioned 6.2 isn't going to help it at all.

Why Apple Should Acquire AMD 340

Posted by CmdrTaco from the what-else-do-you-do-with-mad-ipod-money dept.
slashdotLIKES writes "CoolTechZone.com columnist Gundeep Hora has a new column up that discusses why Apple should acquire AMD and how both companies would be a good fit for each other. From the article, "After private equity groups, let's look at a more strategic acquisition. For that, Apple is the best bet. Yes, I know it sounds way too radical to be taken seriously. However, Apple could drop Intel altogether and adopt AMD for its Macintosh PCs. Sure, the transition is going to take sometime, and it would probably make Apple announce a brand new line of PCs. However, it will be well worth it. We know Steve Jobs is ruthless when it comes to making interesting deals with powerful companies. This makes AMD a perfect match. Obviously Intel isn't going to be too delighted, but other companies don't bother Jobs. We all know he's the type of executive who crafts deals on his own terms. If Intel wants to be associated with Apple, then they won't really have much of a choice."
