I'm pretty sure that the way you're framing the debate doesn't help. Literally speaking, "Microsoft is dead" just isn't true - as Don says, they're actually still growing - it's their second derivative that's screwed. Nobody cares about Vista, the 360 is about to be knocked off the throne by the Wii, the Zune is irrelevent, opearting systems are steadily becoming a commodity and not just because of web apps. I agree with it all, except I really question your choice of words.
- mattjaynes 20y ago"Literally speaking, 'Microsoft is dead' just isn't true" Did anyone really think pg was 'speaking literally'?

- reitzensteinm 20y agoWell, I certainly didn't think he was, but that's an odd thing to ask considering the article we are discussing is basically some guy refuting the literal interpretation.
