"The most sophisticated applications are being built from scratch and are often running on non-Microsoft platforms," Mr. Gates wrote in an internal memo distributed last September. "We need to have a great platform for building these applications, support for scaling them to very large numbers of users, great tools to help, and easy ways to deploy and manage them. We are not delivering that today."

Bill Gates said it ... not me. Send your flames to Redmond.

MSFT stock may run for a couple of more years. I hope everyone makes money. Bad operating systems don't necessarily make bad investments.

Companies stupid enough to run NT 4.0 are stupid enough to upgrade to Windows 200X. But Windows appears to be fragmenting into six or seven different flavors.

In a couple of years Linux will have 100,000,000 users and over 30% of the server market. It will be a little tougher to grow in that environment.

Linux ... "Powerful and easy to use." -- Microsoft
