Re: 17 Minutes With Bill Gates

I'm sure Bill does have grand plans of where software will go and his
commitment to make computers work for the end user ... BUT the reality is:

1. He is someone we love to blame even though he has little or no power any
more
2. His vision of reality lives a separated life
3. His vision of a better end user experience gets destroyed by "the
machine" known as Microsoft
4. Microsoft like all large organizations through out history have become
too large for their own good

I think what Microsoft need to do is diversify - if nothing more than to
gain an education of the real world.

What I would like to see from Bill and Microsoft, is someone that
understands what we need by recognizing their flaws and stop blaming end
users & developers. Do not elevate a vision that just happens to
incorporate a highly profitable business model that provides "just enough"
of what we need at a premium cost. Make money by making your products more
simple, not more complex so you can charge a "subscribed" premium.

1 in 5 people have computers and actually use the Internet - if Bill needs
to do something, he needs to realize something went wrong along the way and
ask the question why do only 1 in 5 people have computers 28 years after
they were introduced to the masses? If he wants to grade how well he's
done, this is a failed score IMHO.
