I don't think Darwin needs to take any lessons in failure from Microsoft's BOB, do you? If you think BOB was bad, just wait for the final chapter on Microsoft's failed distributed component architecture DCOM. Anymore jokes Microsoft? The clowns at Microsoft simply went along for the ride as the electronics industry, led by Intel, made PCs the most affordable and flexible business appliance you could imagine. Microsoft just went along for the ride until eventually they had the majority of software vendors, and by extension consumers, trapped within their proprietary tangle of muck and mire. What's particularly bothersome is that they fail to recognize the fact that any time they have stepped outside of the desktop applications domain it has resulted in abject failure. DCOM is the latest fiasco and just think, they have been working on that pile of dog dirt for a decade. Give me billions of dollars from some cheezy OS which I control and I will guarantee you that I will deliver the most popular applications, too. infoworld.com
