Absolutely. Xerox PARC was such an incredibly creative and fertile place — but as you note, they didn’t have the competency or the desire to bring all that stuff to market. Given how many things were pioneered or refined at Xerox PARC, I’m not sure any single company could have brought ’em all to market!
