Am I looking for a conspiracy theory, or is it a coincidence, or am I just simply paranoid? Microsoft has just effectively obsoleted sending files through email for most Windows users (if you can send only some files, but not some others, you probably do not want to use it, period.) And they also stated (I quote): "Users that would like to distribute the attachments on this list can post them to file shares, intranets, online hard drives, community Web site (such as http://communities.msn.com/filecabinets)." Are they trying to advertise and force people into using their new file sharing (filecabinets above) or what? --------------------------------------------- --- ----------------------------------------------
Man, sometimes I wish this was moderated (God forbid!) because certain dumbheads think they can spam (like the one I am replying to) all they want, and more importantly they think they can offend God all they want.
Now on the topic: from my experience (I am working at a startup) the management, PR & business side is what you stumble upon. In other words, development is a piece-o-cake, but the rest can kill you. Also, it is more than difficult to find developers (at least here, in Seattle) and this will kill a lot of quickly growing/expandig startups. Find connections to a nearby university with good CS program! That's the key...:)
