Horace Dediu: Biggest news of 2014

Asymco’s Horace Dediu calls the Apple/IBM partnership the biggest news of 2014.

We must applaud IBM for having the courage to resist the featuritis which plagues enterprise software design. This resistance requires saying No to those who specify and are thus authorized to purchase software and hardware. IBM has had to essentially say no to those who buy and yes to those who are paid to use.

That last sentence is just beautiful. This has the potential of seriously disrupting the enterprise software market. One can only hope.
