I couldnt have said it better myself. This article summarizes my thoughts on MSFT's past and future perfectly! The end of the Microsoft Age Once it seemed Bill Gates would rule the world. Today, his firm symbolizes arrogance, not promise Net culture, Gates' arrogance spell end of the Microsoft Age BY JON KATZ A N EPOCHAL technological event has occurred: The Microsoft Age has sputtered and closed. Of course Bill Gates is hardly about to declare bankruptcy, nor is his company. But Microsoft as a seminal or defining idea, as a culture -- and Gates as our Millennial Seer -- have become bankrupt notions. If ever a nerd was in the right place at the right time doing the right thing, it was Bill Gates in the 1980s. The country's entrenched institutions were stunned by the sudden emergence of the Internet, whose potential was apparent even to them. And Gates was perfect as the face of the Digital Age: young, brainy, clean-cut, unbelievably rich and successful. mercurycenter.com Toy
