Supposedly a similar thing within MS where the head of the Office group would not allow tablet specific customizations to be added to the package.

Or dear old Apple, where before Jobs was ousted there was a ongoing "battle" between the AppleII and the Lisa/Mac camps (or even just between Lisa and Mac teams, where i think Jobs himself basically unplugged one guys computer and carried it physically to the Mac office)...

I wonder if it can be connected to the abundance of sociopaths in the top levels of corporations.
