One of my take-aways is that Jon Squire is planning on transitioning AC into a software company, and that should be good for most of us.
This is what scares me. Usually with such transitions, companies start dramatically increasing licensing prices, often charging per user or forcing all users into the cloud ....
If they want to survive, they will need to function as software company. That means timely releases that are well documented, functionality that works, and a steady diet of bug-fixes.
What it means beyond that depends on the paths that they choose. I have my own opinions about what they should do, but I'll post that on our own blog.
I'll say this much - I have worked for software companies, with them, and run a few, and they have no choice but to begin functioning as a software company.
What business choices they make are a completely different subject.
