The Future Of Computing Will Be Good Enough
,----[ Quote ]
| Undoubtedly the biggest upset in the world of tech over the last ten years
| has been the demise of Microsoft. However, the end had been obvious as early
| as 2009. The corporation narrowly fought off an antitrust judgment under the
| (first) Clinton and Bush administrations. But it also developed fatal issues
| with its product line.
|
| It was the vintage Windows XP operating system that caused the rot to set in
| that brought down the company. XP had proved a best-seller in its day, but
| became a significant thorn in Microsoft's side when it attempted to introduce
| new products.
