Mobile: MS screwed up by getting too late to buy core Danger staff and thus missed the OS team.. Buy RIM..all-of-it especially the OS staff. That OS-Services-hardware combo plus staff is enough to pivot if MS lets the incoming new ideas float to top pas the Political Fiefdoms that are so much an obstacle at MS.. Or the cheaper solution Wall-off-a-building at MS Campus..raise a pirate flag and put 100 software developers there..some MS Mobile hardware some OS dev tools and leave them be for 10 months with no Management interference.. And SB you have had things in the Research Labs that should have seen a product release..it was that good of ideas.. The whole MS Management structure is not working.. Might be a time to give out $150,000 startup scholarships to developers to start new companies.. Do not get me wrong I think you are smart enough to know, SB, that its not working..you have smart people bu the management infrastructure and political fiefdom culture at MS is in the way..
