Doomsday at MSFT? Wall Street Journal tells a compelling story!

Take a look at page one of WSJ! They pull together a great story about the problems inside MSFT. What happens when you get too big?? Things start to fall apart…

“What happened when the American car companies failed to update their manufacturing lines? There was a more efficient way to bring cars to market for a lower price and they lost their market,” says Microsoft Vice President Chris Jones. “We’re in a little bit of a different industry but it’s the same thing.”

The Journal continues on to tell the story of bringing Vista to market and the troubles the giant faces. Take a look, it’s a great article. And of course Linux is cited as a contributor to the problem – hat’s off to the FOSS community!
