[IxDA Discuss] Usability as Feature

I think the fundamental reason for success of apple products is leadership,
we always talk about Sr. Management buy-in into user centered design
(keeping process aside) as a must for success of products, and here is a
company where CEO is driven by that. I am neutral about whether European
design influence has helped or not, but I think that's possible in any large
organization, it's the leadership which helps realize the possibility in
case of apple (an other companies like google, 37 signals..).
