microsoft, IBM, and how to kill a big company....

[techlists at phpcoderusa.com]

Real missed opportunity.  M$ could have made some cool stuff, and they 
did and we owe them for where we are at today.  I just wish they would 
have made a leaner O/S and focused just on the O/S and dev tools.  They 
seemed to understand how to make things intuitive and easy.  I really 
like Visual Basic and Visual Basic for Applications.

I only use Windows for testing with IE and one app that runs only on M$.

They should have read the books Good to Great, Tribes, and Purple Cow.
