Microsoft to Internet: Drop Dead
,----[ Quote ]
| Here you can see a microcosm of what has made Microsoft’s path just that much
| rockier and harder than it could have been, and why Silicon Valley considers
| the company to be the bull-in-a-china-shop of the technology world. The
| definition of death, in corporate America, is believing you don’t have any
| competition. The definition of being in a coma may be underestimating that
| competition.

P. Graham: Microsoft is Dead
,----[ Quote ]
| A few days ago I suddenly realized Microsoft was dead. I was talking
| to a young startup founder about how Google was different from Yahoo.
| I said that Yahoo had been warped from the start by their fear of
| Microsoft. That was why they'd positioned themselves as a "media
| company" instead of a technology company. Then I looked at his face
| and realized he didn't understand. It was as if I'd told him how much
| girls liked Barry Manilow in the mid 80s. Barry who?
|
| Microsoft? He didn't say anything, but I could tell he didn't quite
| believe anyone would be frightened of them.
