microsoft is guilty of hubris. their corporate culture has convinced itself that because it supplies the OS it needs to compete for your attention with every aspect of computing. Microsoft could benefit greatly from shrinking and gaining some focus.
- DrJokepu 17y agoAgreed. I wouldn't be very surprised if we were seeing Bill Gates returning to the cockpit again to sort things out in five years or so.
- itgoon 17y agoI could see him doing it, but I don't see him actually sorting anything out. His last years were not stellar. He did a fantastic job building the company, but I don't think he's the right person to rebuild it.
- streetstealth 17y agoThere's one MS higher-up who I could see actually pulling it off: J Allard. If the future of Windows were a tenth as innovative as the XBox division or even Zune, MS could probably swing a turnaround like Palm is in the middle of. In fact, I'm calling it now: Allard's going to be CEO of MSFT before 2020. Maybe before 2015. You heard it here first.
