A Silicon.com article takes a look into the crystal ball, with Bill Gates departing from Microsoft, and posits the following potential changes: 1. A greater acceptance of open source 2. A new approach to Windows releases 3. Secure new revenue by buying big 4. Taking the web seriously through interoperability 5. More Microsoft than Gates [letting new people make decisions].

Let it be

I do not want to be aggressive, but I see very often: "what MS should do to...", "what Steve Ballmer should do to...", etc.

I think MS is where it is because the people inside there knew how to handle the whole thing. Steve Ballmer is in front of MS several years ago so, nothing different should be done to continue its way.

completely agree.

when you make billions of dollars a year from your own monopoly you can tell MS what to do.

until then i'm sure that the billions will keep rolling in despite what every blogger with a superiority complex says.
