That's pretty funny.

Like I said, I'm willing to wait and see if it pans out over time. Even Google kinda sucked in the beginning. (Remember WebBot, InfoSeek, and other now-obsolete search engines?)

I've developed products at the direction of my business analysts. They were object-oriented bliss. Pure design euphoria. And they were rejected by end-users because they were to complicated to actually use (something I warned about). Good design and high technology does not necessarily make a good end product.

The trick is always figuring out how to apply technology. If Wolfram doesn't do it, someone else will.
