Interesting article, {I say griting my teeth, leaving the bashing for others}

From the article:
Unless Microsoft can pick up the pace, "consumers may simply end up with a more and more inferior operating system over time, which is sad," said Mr. Yoffie of the Harvard Business School.

Oops - too late...

Couldn't resist that one...

this is a great article but I think a lot of detail is missing. For example I don't buy that it took msft basically 4 years (from 2000-summer 2004 when longhorn was "started over") to determine that the Longhorn approach was too complicated and they needed smaller task oriented code units.

This (to me) seems like an "oh shit" moment happened way too late in the process to fix, thats sortof common.
