(Result: Highly integrated, singular vision).</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Microsoft:</strong> Distinct pyramids pointing guns at each other. (Result: Windows vs. Office vs. Xbox felt like warring nations).</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Amazon:</strong> Strict, hierarchical pyramids. (Result: A platform of strictly defined, modular services).</p> </li> </ul> <p>These drawings were funny because they were true. They were visual proof of <strong>Conway&rsquo;s Law</strong>.</p>
