Is MS were truly dead then we wouldn't need an article declaring it so. The
mere existence of this article negates its purpose.
Go tell the Bank of Americas, Walmarts, and State Farms of the world (all
running WS2003/IIS for internet and domain administration, XP for desktops)
that MS is dead.
WebTV was an ISP it doesn't really compare to the other stuff. It was a
way to check your email and the web without buying a computer. It wasn't
used to compliment the computer you already have.

a guy coding and you need to look up drug interactions you need

Businesses care what Microsoft is doing. Internet applications like

I'm not with you there. Google has the brain power and money to make
big bold moves. The risk is, of course, misses. So we'll see, b

You're certainly correct, but I'm referring more to innovators viewing
MS as a design constraint. 5 years ago they were, today they're not.
That's the point of the article.
Outside of that point, if MS is
Ultimately it is all about money. Innovation puts us on the right path, but
money paves the road.
If we are talking about real innovation, Google is not a threat. They are
huge and well on their way to being a bloated, slow-moving behemoth. Just

As more and more applications become web-applications, fewer and fewer
people will base their operating system purchase decisions based on
application availability, and that won't be good for Microsoft's giant
market share.
Anyone remember Microsoft's WebTV? Just wait till someone like Google

The article is not about money it's about innovation. Microsoft
doesn't do that. They don't create new markets. They will take over

I don't see the future being about web apps at all. Unless in your
crystal ball you see everyone having access to a 99.% uptime,
6MB/s connection to their homes and businesses.
The desktop will always be there, it is very much alive and kicking
and will continue to be for years, perhaps decade
Typical geek, focused on a tiny niche in the market, not the giant meaty
center of the market where MSFT rakes in billions every year. Vista sold 20
million licenses in the first month. For anyone keeping track, that's
roughly $2 billion in revenue, assuming an ASP of $100.

The most important resource is lots of $$$. Then just make a small description

He's saying that 5 years ago most, if not all, tech ventures were
viewed through the lens of how Microsoft would react or what they'd
think about it. Today, however, is different: nobody seems to care.
