Craig Peterson & Beyond Compare

Pictured to the left is my husband, Craig Peterson. He's the lead developer of a shareware utility called Beyond Compare. Recently, he was interviewed by Successful Software. A couple of months ago, he participated in the Podcast at Delphi.org where he also discussed the development of Beyond Compare version 3.

One of the things they were trying to ascertain in the Successful Software interview is why Beyond Compare succeeded despite the developers ignoring conventional wisdom and making some unusual decisions. I think it is precisely for these reasons that Beyond Compare is so successful. You cannot succeed if you just do what everybody else does. They buck the trends, and it works for them.
