I think Terry is more to blame. Of course, there is also the problem of making money on Windows too, especially as most of the Windows sales are OEM. I am thinking of breaking up Microsoft's Windows division into a non-profit foundation, funded by hardware vendors like Dell and Intel with no per system licensing fees required anymore for example. Of course, it would be complex and have to be planned carefully.
- Silhouette 11y agoI think Terry is more to blame. Perhaps, but I think if you're the CEO and the flagship product most associated with your business goes to hell, the buck stops with you. Ironically, someone like Terry might be best placed to clean up the mess, as a shift back towards in-house but centralised technologies like Exchange (a team he ran for a long time) could be Microsoft's best strategy for competing both technically and in PR with the online-everything brigade.
