1. Microsoft was started by a man with a vision and no team.
2. The man with the vision hired a bunch of programmers to continue to work of the guy who wrote DOS.
3. At a time where computers were expensive things for only very wealthy people (back when apple was educating itself about its public), this madman called bill gates was venturing into a world of having many clients who knew nothing about what they were acquiring.
4. Microsoft didn’t have Microsoft as an example of poor management in this knew world, and being big and inneficient and inflexible, it grew in disorder, while a parallel world developed in the opposite direction: Slow, consistent growth.
5. Microsoft’s team of old style businessman with both eyes on profit, and the poor habit of hiding it’s problems by trying to cover them up with lies, dragged itself around, being occasionally beat up by the organized clan, like a bee trying to sting an elephant.
6. As Microsoft tested the market with poorly thought of solutions for problems it was creating along its journey, the organized clan was coming up with much better solutions, that were developed more slowly and carefully, but often inaccessible for the general public because, well, if you’re a noob, your should RTFM.

Today, we see the result of a giant which was trying to tend to its client’s problems by throwing a huge ammount of money in wrong directions, while a very well organized world developed alongside it.

For the future, we will see how the organized guys will try to look more and more pleasing to the customer (as Microsoft has failed at trying to be), while the giant tries to become structured well enough to compete with it’s organized friend.

Both monsters are on a journey to a single place, of balance.

Microsoft will learn that it’s operating system has to be free of charge (as it has been for the majority of its users), or it will perish.

The organized guys will learn that they must look at people who don’t eat and breathe and sleep computers with a kinder eye (as they are successfully doing already, after some time of blind failure).

The line between them is ever growing thinner, and they will become one. One way, or another.

Microsoft proporcionará un paquete de actualización de software y licencia. Sin embargo será necesario hacer backup, instalar, restaurar datos y reinstalar programas. En español:www.theinquirer.es/2009/02/09/la-actualizacion-de-xp-a-w7-no-sera-tal….
