The 8 signs and the bottom line:
1. Vista OS (...it appears to be little more than a gussied-up version of
Windows XP. It appears as if it is going to be a great disappointment.)
2. Office 2007 (...If it is anything like Notes it will create a lot of
anguish with users.)
3. MSN (...Why people keep encouraging Microsoft to go in this direction is
baffling.)
4. MSN Search Engine (...Again more of the same and pointless. Selling ads.)
5. Xbox360 (...This was an exhibition of poor planning and bad business
intelligence gathering.)
6. Pad-based computing (...According to Gates just a few years back this was
to become the dominant form of computing by now. What happened?)
7. Dot Net initiative (...soft has been unable to cope with Open Source
except to complain about it.)
8. Preoccupation with Google (...Now Microsoft is about to do a deal with
Yahoo to flank Google. This old-lady-like skittishness is unbecoming for a
company this size.)
