Microsoft Needs Bill Gates Back

Consider Microsoft's founding mission: "A computer on every desk and in every home, all running Microsoft software." Gates set this goal back in 1975, when it wasn't clear that most people would even encounter a computer in their lives, let alone see any need to buy one. To be sure, Microsoft has never been on the forefront of tech innovation; it took its best ideas -- the graphical OS, the office suite, the Web browser -- from other companies. As a result, many Gates detractors argue that we'd all be running PCs anyway, even if Microsoft had never stepped in. But I'm not so sure. The PC as envisioned by Microsoft -- ugly, cheap, everywhere -- is very different from the one envisioned by Steve Jobs (stylish, expensive, proprietary). Had Jobs won that fight, some of us would have pretty computers while the rest of us might have none.

Gráfica muy elocuente...

igual hay un dicho que predica..  llegar es facil, lo dificil es mantenerse.... 
bill gates hizo lo facil y se fue, y dejo lo dificil para otro.

Estoy de acuerdo con Bart, por más que no me guste como hizo Bill Gates su empresa/fortuna, hay que dar credito al que lo merece, no es fácil crear una empresa de cero y ser una multinacional gigantesca.

Como se ve en la gráfica Gates llego a un pico importante sin muchos sobresaltos en el camino, pero Ballmer no llego a ese pico, es más, bajo de 60* a 30, y a menos de 20 el año pasado con baches por todos lados!

*60 millones? billones? no indica que son...
