Who really bears that responsibility? Bill Gates? Steve Ballmer? Guess what - they're both out and the new leadership clearly has a different approach in mind.

Microsoft has no blame for Linux being a bad desktop platform - and for the record, I strongly disagree with the assertion that Linux is a bad desktop platform.
Your hyperbole and childish "M$" name-calling do nothing to support your argument.
- gonvaled 9y agoIt is too easy to say "those persons are no longer responsible". I do not care who was responsible, I do not care how the company was structured or who was calling the shots. The company reaped the rewards, they get to keep the responsibilities. It is a boring argument, being repeated ad-nausea: "nobody is responsible anymore". And, since companies (and states) are perfectly aware that the market / society will forget in a couple of decades what they are doing now, they keep on doing whatever they like. Guess what, some of us are not willing to forget. > Your hyperbole and childish "M$" name-calling do nothing to support your argument. You call it "childish name calling", I call it "guerrilla marketing". It seems to work.
