The failure to understand the importance of Search across the Internet, plus the movenment of Office Software over the Web, has left Microsoft caught out with their pants down.
But how do they expect to compete over the Web, when their core assets are Desktop Applications such as Windows and Office.

Google is a 100% Web Company. The same can not be said of Microsoft. Until they give the Internet the same priority as Windows and Office, Microsoft will never ride the Internet Tidal Wave.

The King is Dead, Long live Google, Linux, and Open Source.

Prior to joining Google, I set up a meeting on or about November 11, 2004 with Microsoft’s CEO Steve Ba11mer to discuss my planned departure….At some point in the conversation Mr. Ba11mer said: “Just tell me it’s not Google.” I told him it was Google.

At that point, Mr. Ba11mer picked up a chair and threw it across the room hitting a table in his office. Mr. Ba11mer then said: “Fscking Eric Schmidt is a fscking pvssy. I’m going to fscking bury that guy, I have done it before, and I will do it again. I’m going to fscking k1ll Google.” ….

Thereafter, Mr. Ba11mer resumed trying to persuade me to stay….Among other things, Mr. Ba11mer told me that “Google’s not a real company. It’s a house of cards.”

Not likely. He publicly called the man a fscking pvssy and said his company was a house of cards ready to blow over at any second.

At that point, Mr. Ba11mer picked up a chair and threw it across the room hitting a table in his office. Mr. Ballmer then said: “Fscking Eric Schmidt is a fscking pvssy. I’m going to fscking bury that guy, I have done it before, and I will do it again. I’m going to fscking k1ll Google.” ….

With that said, you’re still wrong. There have been tons of books, articles, etc… written by respected journalists that detail just how bitter the transition from Gates to Ballmer was and how much Ballmer has largely been in control since about 2001. To say otherwise shows an utter misunderstanding of how Microsoft works internally (unless there’s some conspiracy to portray its workings as just the opposite of what they actually are)

As everyone and their brother have pointed out Gates is handing his position off to Ozzie if he’s handing it off to anyone.

P.S. – this ridiculous idea of Silverlight + Mesh that you’ve made up and that no one else has even ever mentioned is still silly. ‘nuff said.

What is Ba11mer taking over?
Is he the chief software architect now?

That would be pretty funny.

@2, 3, I also feel that Dave’s good name has been sullied. No wait, I don’t care.

So is Ba11mer the Chief Software Architect as well as being CEO now or what?

I want to see Ba11mer code something for a change.

Bad, very bad for Microsoft.

It’s hard to believe you’re lending your name to this. Maybe you should put it on the TechCrunch home page since it’s happening at the TechCrunch summer party. Be upfront with your readers.

I don’t know where you guys lost your way but this is so over the top.
