The familiar pattern of a decade ago begs the question that Bill Gates was asked when he met last month with a group of executives and journalists from The New York Times: Will you do to Google what you did to Netscape?
Mr. Gates, the Microsoft co-founder and chairman, paused, looked down at his folded hands and smiled broadly, as if enjoying a private joke. “Nah,” he replied, “we’ll do something different.”
From Can This Man Reprogram Microsoft?, an article in Sunday’s New York Times about the new internet and Microsoft’s re-invention. Interesting look at where we may all be headed.
The “man” in the title is Ray Ozzie.
