I do a lot if it here on my blog but I now I’m going to hat tip a hat tip – I was delighted to hear Ray Ozzie say this in his PDC Day 1 Keynote last week
"I'd like to tip my hat to Jeff Bezos and Amazon for their innovation and for the fact that across the industry all of us are going to be standing on their shoulders,"
Not something you typically hear from an industry leader, especially on the day of announcing their own potentially competing offer. Respect.

Agree. You just used the wrong hat, though. It should be a tip of a Red Sox cap, Steve. :-)Anonymous

Interesting. I heard that sentence, coming from a guy with a Lotus background, and I turned to the person next to me and said "remember what Excel did to 123?". Microsoft is so good at being second ... to my ears he says "we are going to stand on you" to Amazon. And we will. And he perhaps says "thanks for going first and doing the hard part, we'll take it from here." And we will.
