If I were an evil tech giant, I would open source a bunch of libraries that require significantly more effort to use than necessary, and pitch them as the One True Solution. Just to slow my competitors down.
So I bought all the XP books, dog eared them, left them on my desk. My team nearly mutinied. I asked them to wait and see. Two weeks later, nemesis announced his team was all in for XP, Agile, pair programming, etc.
They never recovered, didn't make another release.
