Microsoft will never be the same without Bill Gates as Chief Software Architect. No, really. It's a tragedy; a misstepping of fate; a calamity of lost genius. Try this for honesty of the highest order, the infuriated mutterings of an influential voice at Microsoft, admitted as it is in defeat, knowing that nothing came of it - any of it. And knowing, perhaps, that it didn't matter one bit. http://gizmodo.com/5019516/classic-clips-bill-gates-chews-out-microsoft-over-xp
Poor Microsoft. Poor Bill. We miss you both. Your hours are nearly through, and the refuge of brilliant marketing and business acumen can only last so long. So enjoy it while it lasts, and know that, very occasionally, we care that it isn't always your fault. Even while you lie, cheat and rip us off; even as you spin your stories, weasel yourself out of any kind of obligation to your customers, distort reality for the public benefit, pull off ridiculous and base PR stunts and just generally behave like complete bastards, we'll know it hasn't all been for nothing. And we can perhaps learn to forgive it all, just for one tiny glimpse of the human being that is William Gates III.
