i know some will disagree or deride me...so be it.. but heres my take haveing worked in tech and seen both successes and failures. hopefully others with experience in tech will see what i'm driving at.
and its got to do with tech business strategy or mba 101 in biz schools.as follows...
(i'm approaching things from a big picture biz strategic perspective.)

1..the tech biz landscape is littered with tech companies that didnt diversify.
i worked for one once in product management and as i was very close to users i warned snr management we needed to take an aggressive posture re our product in the market...at that time i was derided by the higher ups as i expressed my concern for the future of the company.
as roxy music once said 'you can guess the rest'. this wasnt a company with a few employees but a very large one.
2..if one looks at businesses that are successfull one will see they diversify.
viz..for those that want pg to concentrate on only bb...
amazon doesnt sell one product do they ?
does walmart ? and i could cite lots of other successfull biz examples.

given the above,and obviously its pg's call the above are just a few reasons i disagree with people who say 'drop rb' and 'concentrate on bb'.

i suggest pg go full steam ahead with bb getting more daw features.
(more daw amazeing features in the brilliant bb tracks view concept..)
and full steam ahead for more aggressive development of rb and make it a market slayer.
(its already choc full of great features i cant find in other daws based on my recent market analysis.)

so deride away....lol. think of the fact that a market slayer rb might bring more creators into the pg fold thus ensureing more revenue for pg and thus more goodies for all bb users.
ie...DIVERSIFY !! THINK BIG !!
do we really want pg to become just a server upper of content ?...
like a waiter in a diner ? or do we want more ?
as i see it if bb is reduced to just a 'slave' to other non pg daw products pg has no control over this could have various ramifications..cost of maintenace and keeping up with changes in other daw products being one.


but hey what do i know....deride away.
oodles of my wishes/suggestions have been posted in the wishlist section as well the contacts with pg personnel. bottom line i want a great small canadian company to not just survive over the short term but over the long term in this crazy world.

ps Mal.great point re AI. also re medollists.

anyhoo its uk footies today on nbc. thank you nbc....yippee.

happiness

om
