Brent Simmons on why he doesn’t develop software for Windows:
One of the joys of running your own business is that you can tell the hypothetical MBAs to hypothetically get lost. Life’s too short. I want to work on things I like working on. That excludes Windows.
That’s why I’m in business for myself — it’s so I can choose what I want to do. My goal isn’t to make a big company and go public and all that: my goal is to do what I enjoy, which is creating software for OS X.
I think that, fundamentally, this is why we all go into business for ourselves.
