| A flurry of stories about Microsoft recently got me thinking
| today about computer history. First was the story yesterday in the Wall
| Street Journal about whether it's Time to Dump Your Desktop? Another was
| the recent revelation that Microsoft is developing its own Zune music
| player and is creating yet another music store to compete with iTunes.
| Another was about how Google's new spreadsheet service could ultimately
| dent Microsoft's Office business. And then there was this compendium of
| articles about Bill Gates stepping down and another marketing executive
| leaving. These stories seemed to be saying something, but no one told
| the whole story. And then it hit me.
|
| Microsoft is about to lose the software business the same way that IBM lost
| the PC business in the 1980s.
