I understand and share your frustration, and I do not have

times before he was working @ Apple, and although I was really
surprised to see him braking his own promises, one should understand
the environment these guys are working.
While I never would have called Ernie THE most clueless product
manager, in my opinion, one who breaks promises and then tells
developers who object that they "care too much" (as he did explicitly
say at the Stepwise BoF) is going way too far. Like I've said, that's
someone I would fire.
They are just surrounded by people who sell iMacs! I mean, there is
nothing wrong with selling iMacs, but these folks are completely
incapable of understanding the enterprise market, and for them the
software development is abracadabra. So, I am even surprised that
Ernie's team achieved what we have today!
You know, when I think about the 68k -> PowerPC transition, that
impressed me. Compared to that, Ernie's team has done nuttin'. Then
again, I could say the same for the rest of the industry -- because
that was quite an achievement and the standard I hold Apple to.
