Windows Azure Lessons Learned: Quark Software
Dec 16, 2009 at 11:11 AMI'm ok with fruit-flavoured PCs when they're running Windows. I kidded Stephan about that before-hand. Quark is known for their design chops so I guess there are designers all over. Stephan's not one of those (you can tell because he doesn't have any visible tattoos, piercings and isn't wearing a beret
