The book is great... I've just read it two times.
It is just surprising the amount of stuff one could compare to today´s companies.
There were some situations in Commodore that are quite similar to things I´ve seen in companies I worked for. Almost Dilbert like.
One example: we came up with a really nice product that was different from anything else in the market, but a competitor told our director it was not a really good idea and it was canceled. Another competitor had the same idea 2 years later and sold a lot. Just like the Commodore LCD :-D
