For me, the key point of the article is that the board asked,
How can you be that far off what consumers want? Was it that you're not listening to your team? Was it because the team was afraid to give him advice? Was it because the team saw a different reality? Or was it that the team lacked the skill set to anticipate the failure?
I believe they are realizing that there is a culture at Microsoft that is holding back the company.
- mccr8 13y agoThe board didn't ask that, some analyst asked that. This article is mostly speculation and Kreliminology, so read it with a grain of salt.
- ReadyCollective 13y agoThis. I cannot believe the board gave him such an amazing amount of rope, for so very long, and they are just coming to ask those questions. I wonder what they thought the problem was?
- resu_nimda 13y agoIt doesn't say anywhere that the board asked that. That was a quote from this Patrick Moorhead, "principal analyst with Moor Insights & Strategy." The entire basis of this article is that guy's speculation. Is there any reason to believe he has any real insight into the situation? I'm kind of ready to file this under "bullshit speculation/self-promotion of some random 'analyst.'"
