Bill Gates' original vision was "a computer on every desk, running Microsoft software". Once he more or less reached this goal, around the mid-90's, of course Microsoft stagnated. I'd say that Bill's real failure was to not accept this fact and return as dividends or stock buybacks the tremendous amount of money that Microsoft was generating.
