Hey JR
Many years ago I saw Scott Cook (I think thats his name, CEO of Intuit at the time) give a talk at a small conference in seattle.

He discussed the focus of the company and its software.... They focused on one thing: Customer experience. Thats it. And thats why MSFT and all other competitors have been left in the dust by Intuit.

>Just curious... you seem to be arguing that Intuit got big by being successful and got successful by being big. But you don't answer the most simple question of all: how did Intuit ever get to be so big when it consistently acted contrary to every piece of absolute advice given by certain people for more than a decade? If you can focus on that question, certain relevancies might reveal themselves to you. Bear in mind that you can disprove an absolute assertion with a single negative example, no matter how much "evidence" is arrayed to support the assertion.
