Of course anyone wanting to use Quark and MacOS X would say that privately 
held companies can often move too slowly too.

Sometimes a little kick in the a** is a good thing. Of course working at a 
public company now, I can say that quarterly releases is definitely a 
killer for designers.

Something that most folks forget to take into account when discussing 
Google is that they are a privately owned company. I will be interested to 
see how they change if/when they go public. Stockholder pressure for quick 
return creates bad decision making environments.
