I hope not. Like Linus is still kicking himself
for making his software available to all?

Everyone knows Xerox had/has a blazing
R&D team. Now THAT's marketable,
if you work for Xerox, all you have to say
is the word "PARC" and people listen.

And if the Xerox executives are at all visionary
they know the first rule of making such
a mistake; don't kick yourself because that's
two mistakes; instead, keep moving
moving moving.
