Microsoft The web is abuzz with articles related to Bill Gates' retreat from Microsoft, and the BBC, too, partakes in this buzz. The BBC decided to list a few of Bill Gates' and Microsoft's predictions and drastic moves, and came to a list of hits and misses. Five misses, four hits.

I think he was pretty dead on with the Misses. Think about when XP first came out.... it wasn't even semi-decent until SP1 and much better after SP2. Didn't even notice anything with SP3....

Windows 2000 is still the only MS OS that hasn't left a completely nasty taste in my mouth (just a partial one, for when it first came out and the drivers were horrible)
