a Good Software?

Joel (the on-software guy) has been doing marketing tours of his company's FogBugz version 6, a project management with all kinds of "thingamajiggies" software.

I noted two things:
First, his marketing strategy is very good. By giving free product demo and presentation all over the world.

Second, FogBugz 6 is a _very-very_ good software. That's what I would think how all software with user-interfaces should behave. Four thumbs up for Joel and team.

Info: You could watch a video recording of Joel presentation in Austin here: http://joelonsoftware.com/items/2007/10/24austindemo.html

If you have slow internet connections or some crazy proxy that won't let you enjoy the video (it's 265 MB big), I've found out that you could wget the flash video here: http://media.fogcreek.com/Joel-Austin07.flv

Admittedly, I've learned a lot.

Update: I should have said I've learned at least 3 things, the other one is the Evidence Based Scheduling system FogBugz have. Always have wondered about tracking and estimating time on my projects (by projects I really mean those are all the things/stuffs that require me to actually DO them).

I think Jeff's comments are all absolutely correct.

Even so, his comments doesn't change the fact that Joel _is_ a successful software-development business owner. Joel still get alot of points correct, and he _does_ made money from his software business.

If not for anything else, I'd say in the comment, Jeff had just shown us that Joel is just another human being.
