It seems that all these big technology companies go through phases  
like this, where it starts off with a lot of innovation and  
enlightened ideas, but ends up with accountants, lawyers and marketing  
people destroying anything of real worth - a sort of informational  
"heat death".  I remember a time in the distant past when Microsoft  
was regarded as a desirable company for engineers to work at, and long  
before that the same probably applied to IBM.
