This is an amazing read, thank you! For those of us who worked in organisations you led later in your career, it's awesome to read about your own early years.
What secret sauce, if any, did Next have that they were able to develop such a sophisticated full stack system in such a short amount of time? I imagine basing it on Mach saved a bunch of time, but that can't possibly be the entire reason?

Starting from a brilliant team that had already done Lisa and Mac sounds like a good start to me :-) They were brilliant at what they did. No other way to say it. Sure starting from the likes of Mach, Objective C, Postscript, etc. helped but knowing what to pick and how to leverage it was brilliant.
