A Former Microsoftie Forecasts Microsoft Doom

Chris Holland writes "Jeff Reifman, a columnist for Seattle Weekly, has written a toe-curling editorial analysis of Microsoft's past and current missed opportunities, contrasted with its financial success, while covering in fair depth some of the most serious threats to their business model. Beyond the many choice quotes, I've found this article to be a very interesting read from somebody who has not only been on the inside, but also significantly developed his professional career thru Microsoft solutions."

Next time one of your euroneighbors decides that your land would make a nice annexation, we'll hang back until we get this "English" problem straightened out.

Anon Cowards seldom surprise:
That was written when the main problem Britain seems to have with the rest of Europe, is it's friendly attitude to the US... :-)

(For the record -- as an outsider, I must say that the Queen's English is simply beautiful, but some of the really odd southern US dialects sound as funny as the Irish or London dialects.)
