John Gruber provides an excellent analysis of Gall’s law as it applies to Apple:

Start with something simple and build it, grow it, improve it, steadily over time. Evolve it.

My only addition is that this same logic applies in all situations. The best way to build a better school system is to start with small, excellent schools and work from there. The best way to rebuild the economy is to start with simple, working banks and build from there. The best strategy for anything: build simplicity, evolve complexity.
