  Workstations suck these days. Give us something as cool as an SGI machine for 2 grand. And if you find an interface formula that works well and becomes popular please for heavens sake don’t change it. Make profitability job one. You could use Linux but your job is to make it work perfectly in all its aspects. You also need at least one server product to go with it.

  Don’t make your business model around rent seeking. Create value and don’t exploit us.

  Focus your attention on support documentation and community support. I like what Unity 3D has done in that respect.

  Monitor your support activity and see if you can offer refinement to areas that are clumsy.

  Put in charge a dictator of design don’t enshrine a revolving door of committees to design stuff.

  Also now is not the best time to start up a business. Tech is going to crash in about 6 months. Safeguard your capital

  People hate windows 10. Everyone is waking up to the reality that it is a liability to keep using it.

  Focus your attention on getting those customers.
