Try: http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/04/22 and click on "The Ozzie Memo" -- no, wait, that's broken, too, there's ugly bits in the URL. Try (watch the wrap!) http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/04/22/the-ozzie-memo%e2%80%94software-is-dead-long-live-the-web/ Even if you could read it, it's an empty article. Microsoft announces that they have innovated "The Mesh" -- what Steve Jobs called the Digital Hub five years ago, only MS-centric. The mashups that Google and Yahoo and everyone else have been doing for years, only MS-centric. Brilliant insights include: "1. The Web is the Hub of our social mesh and our device mesh." Yeah, and...? "2. The Power of "Choice" as business moves to embrace the cloud." Choice? Who's been banging that drum? And MS puts in in airquotes. MS Choice: Take it or Leave it. "3.Small Pieces Loosely Joined for developers, within the cloud and across a world of devices." SPLJ was a very good book, but this is a terrible redefinition of it. Nothing to see here, move along... I thought Ozzie's memo from 2005 [1] was more insightful, though it's quite dated now. I think the Borg is assimilating him...
